As our nation marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and celebrates its 250th birthday, wear blue: run to remember and Team Red, White & Blue will carry one American flag 250 miles from New York City to Washington, DC.

The mission begins on September 12 and concludes five days later in our nation's capital.

We chose this date because One Flag Forward honors more than a moment in history. It honors the response that followed.
