Wear Blue.

Run to Remember.

TOGETHER, LET’S CLOSE THE MONTH OF MARCH with a powerful community effort, called the wear blue Piestewa Challenge, to honor the women who have given their lives in our continued combat operations around the globe.Named in honor of SPC Lori Piestewa, the first Native American service member to be killed in combat on foreign soil, and as the first female service member killed in Iraq.

Starting on March 23, participants will take purposeful steps in teams of up to 8 participants, completing a 250-mile challenge.
