 Sea Cadets from the Walter Reed Medical Center participated in the First Navy Mile Run at the Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C. October 4th. This is the first Navy Mile Run held and kicks off the events leading to the Navy's birthday October 13th. It gave the cadets the opportunity to interact with veterans and compete with other cadets from around the D.C. area. You know, I think anytime the cadets come out and participate, I think they've taken another step forward. And today we had 26, 27 cadets participate and to give them an opportunity to participate in this and to meet other cadets from around the region was great for them. Admiral Michelle Howard attended the race offering motivation and cheering on the cadets as they crossed the finish line.
