Excerpt:
10/28/2011 - HURLBURT FIELD, Fla. -- Courage, honor, allegiance and family are words that just scratch the surface of a unique group of people who spent 10 days honoring their fallen comrades in the best way they know how, through their own pain and sacrifice.
Fifteen Special Tactics Airmen for Air Force Special Operations Command, along with two of their Air Combat Command brethren, embarked on an 812-mile march from Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, to Hurlburt Field, Fla., in order to memorialize 17 who have have died in combat.
These combat controllers and pararescuemen each carried a 50-pound ruck sack and a baton engraved with the name of a fallen Airman.
The Tim Davis Memorial march only takes place if a special tactics Airmen is lost during the year marked form October to October. This year, the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, at Pope Field, N.C., lost three Airmen in the CH-47 crash in Afghanistan, Aug. 6.
The march is named after Staff Sgt. Tim Davis who was killed in 2009 from an Improvised Explosive Device. His sister, Noel Davis, joined the team half-way through the march hoisting a 50-pound rucksack on her back.
