Read the following and then go and give $5.00, $10.00 whatever to GBF via Dan's run.

Green Beret Foundation
The United States Army Special Forces, commonly known as the Green Berets, produces some of our nation’s finest and most elite warriors. They fight across a broad spectrum of missions in the pursuit of freedom for those oppressed and to protect our nation from those who seek to do us harm. They are known as our country's quiet professionals. The Green Berets have been defending our nation against its enemies throughout the last 5 decades in times of peace and war.
The liberties we enjoy as Americans don’t come without a cost. The Special Forces bear the burden of having the highest number of wounded personnel of any other U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF) proponent. The Green Beret Foundation serves these quiet professionals who bravely serve the American people and its freedoms.
In an effort to fill the gaps in support left by the boundaries of other organizations, the GBF facilitates assistance to our wounded, ill and injured Special Forces soldiers and their families. We do this by providing resources to ease the burdens of some of the financial hardships that arise in their time of need as well as improving the quality of life for the soldier and the family.

All, On behalf of the Green Beret Foundation, thank you very much for your support to a great cause!
The USASOC DCG, BG Palumbo, and I finished the run near each other at around 3 hrs 41 minutes. Apparently my shoe chip didn't read at the finish line; I picked up the pace the last 5K to finish strong and not leave much on the race course. Winds weren't too bad and the weather was basically a perfect day for running.
Our Military team was represented with a slice from units across the entire USASOC force and very well taken care of by the Massachusetts State Police! Their support was extremely top notch! They picked us up at various hotels early that morning in Coach buses (with restrooms), brought us into the B.A.C. for baggage drops, Police escorts shut down entire freeways to take our buses to within 50 meters of our starting corral, they had pre-race drinks/snacks setup for us at the start, they picked us up immediately following the race to shuttle us to the B.A.C. for showers and free BBQ (with all the fixings), and finally a bus ride that evening back to our various hotels.
This was made possible by the Massachusetts State Police and with generous donations by good folk like you. I don't know the total donations for the team, but your donations were above and beyond my expectations! Thank you all again for the support!
Dan
