Marine Raiders passed by Brunswick Forest Tuesday morning as they near the end of their Memorial March, honoring those who died in last year’s C-130 plane crash in Mississippi. The ruck march began on July 14th and has spanned 900-miles and moved across 5 states, including Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

The journey began at the crash site in Greenwood, Mississippi and will end with a ceremony at Camp Lejeune this Friday, July 27th. According to WECT, each member carries the Raider flag as well as a rucksack filled with 45lbs of soil collected from the crash site along with a paddle that says “Never Above You. Never Below You. Always Beside You.”

All proceeds from the Marine Raider Memorial March will benefit The Brothers in Arms Foundation, a non-profit supporting the Marine Special Operations Community.
