Memorial Run for Marine Killed in Iraq
Runners remember a fallen Marine and state trooper during a race in Binghamton.
This is the inaugural John McKenna 5-K run at Recreation Park. McKenna was killed last summer while serving in Iraq. He was a former New York State Trooper from Albany, and served in the Marine Reserves. McKenna was a 1998 graduate of Binghamton University, where he was a member of the crew team. More than 1 hundred people ran today's course. McKenna's family appreciated the turnout. The B-U crew team sponsored today's race. They raised more than 4 thousand dollars for the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. Some proceeds will be used for the New York State Trooper Scholarship Fund. And some money will buy a crew boat baring McKenna's name. |
