Fallen 15 Information

Fallen 15 was created by three Veterans who wanted to bring the families and communities of fallen heroes together for a day of celebration and remembrance. Fallen 15 intends to do this by its involvement with running races, social and sport outings, and philanthropic events. Along with these events, Fallen 15 is dedicated to the Veteran community, for the sacrifices those who did come home, have made. There have been nearly 6800 service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Furthermore, the entire nation has bore the brunt of these military conflicts, as all but one state in the Union has lost 15 or more individuals defending freedom abroad. Fallen 15 serves as the keystone to truly inspiring memorial events, as we began to establish 15- kilometer races in communities across the nation to honor, celebrate, and be inspired by the fallen heroes from those same communities. It is more important now than ever, when our nation begins to bring all of the troops home, to make that positive connection and establish and outlet for healing and education to ensure the our nation never forgets the sacrifice of these great Americans. Honor, Celebrate, Inspire
