Marshall County Post

6A —Marshall County Post, Thursday, May 30, 2024 Now we celebrate his life and what his sacri fi ce means. Each Memorial Day, friends and family now get together because of the 32 mile journey across the county and instead of mourning his loss, we cel- ebrate his life and our free- dom,” statedCross. Cross knows in his heart that Hierholzer would ap- prove of the foundation which helps children in the community. All funds gen- erated by selling tee shirts and fees from the run are put back into the commu- nity, every single penny. These funds have provided school supplies and back- packs for approximately 100 students. Funds from the foundation also help those who have di ffi culty paying children’s sports related fees or purchasing equipment. The foundation also sponsors several new teach- ers and classrooms at local schools. With thehelpof Tommy Clark, Founder of Urban Bicycles Food Ministry in Nashville and also a MCHS grad, the foundation is now an approved 501(c) organi- zation. Nowmore funds can go toward needed items, etc. in the community in- stead of all purchases being taxed. Cross received the approval of being a 501(c) on May 6th, and what else was important on this day? May 6th is Hierholzer’s birthday! “After realizing this day was his birthday, I knewitwasmeant tobe and we are going in the right di- rection with the foundation to honor David.” said Cross with excitement. “No one can do everything, but ev- eryone can do something. This is our something.” On May 27th, Memo- rial Day, the sixth run of the Fallen Warrior Foundation startedat 5 a.m. in thenorth end of the county and at 9:15 a.m. the runners made it to the Marshall County Courthouse where they rested and met with Hier- holzer’s family and friends. Then they headed south where several aid stations were placed for their con- venience. Two miles before reaching the end of the run, the runners stopped to take a break and Cross made a small speech. These last two miles were just for David Hierholzer. Cross and a few other runners fi nished the run, wearing weighted vests to symbolize theweight that Hierholzer’s family carries every single day – every day for the rest of their lives. So this is the story about how the Fallen Warrior Foundationstartedandwhy it exists today. Next year on Memorial Day, if you hap- pen to see people running south on 31A, take aminute to remember Sgt. DavidHi- erholzer, the fallen warrior, fromMarshall County Ten- nessee.
