More info from my cousin:
To Friends, Family, and Team mates,
I would like to ask for your support on a memorial ruck that myself and a few teammates are going to conduct. There is a discription of our walk below.
SSgt Tim Davis and Will Jefferson lost their lives in the line of duty, Tim 20 Feb, 2009 and Will 22 Mar 2008. They were selfless heros who consumate quite professional. My team and I are honoring their memory and the other men of USAF Combat Control (CCT) that have made the ultimate sacrafice.
Twelve highly motivated men will relay across 5 states two at a time carrying 50lbs packs. We will begin our 804 mile journey, 7 October 2009, where all CCT team members begin their careers, Medina Annex, Lackland AFB TX. Our mission will be complete approximately 8 to 9 days later at Hurlburt Field Florida, where we will meet our brothers at the annual CCT reunion. 17 Oct, Tim's name will be added to the Combat Control memorial at the Hurlburt Field Air Park. My two man team will be walking 170.6 miles of the 804 mile ruck.
My team is hoping to raise awareness and support for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation (SOWF). Their official website is
http://www.specialops.org/ <http://www.specialops.org/> . I encourage you to learn more about SOWF. The SOWF provides full scholarship grants and educational and family counseling to the surviving children of special operations members who die in operational or training missions and provide immediate financial assistance to severely wounded special operations members and their families. SOWF currently has 119 students in colleges and universities across the country.
Tim is survived by TJ (Timmy Junior), his 1 1/2 year old son and Will is survived by his daughters Tyler 9 and Natalie 1. It is our honor to help raise support for TJ, Tyler, Natalie and other children of our fallen warriors with SOWF, these children are guaranteed to receive a great education and the promise of a bright future.
Monetary donations can be made at www.firstgiving.com/kennethhuhman1 or may be given to anyone on our team. If you would like to support in any other way please contact me at 210 241-8141. I will post more information as it comes available at the web site at the begining of this paragraph.
I would like to ask you all to pass this information to as many people as you know. Additionally if any one has POCs of business or corporations that may be intersted in sponsering myself or another teammate on the walk please contact me or pass my information to the POCs.
To all of you, thank you for your time. Any support will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again
MSgt Kenneth Huhman
