In the face of unimaginable loss, some find the strength to turn their pain into purpose. Lisa Hallett is one such inspiring soul. Fifteen years ago, Lisa's world shattered when her husband, an Army officer, was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Instead of letting grief consume her, she chose to honor his memory in an extraordinary way. This Sunday, on the anniversary of her husband's passing, Lisa will embark on a grueling 93-mile run. Her incredible journey exemplifies the resilience and dedication of those who have lost loved ones in service to our country. We're humbled to have Lisa's story as part of our storytelling at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum. Her strength and determination serve as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by our military families. Join us in cheering Lisa on and learn more about wear blue: run to remember: https://bit.ly/3MeChtx Together, we can honor those who gave all and support the families they left behind. #NVMM #Veterans #Military #Museum #WomenWarriorWednesday #RunfortheFallen #MilitaryFamilies #neverforget
