Fourth Annual Simi Valley Freedom Walk – See you there…

“The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library is joining forces with MilitaryConnection.com to bring to our city the fourth annual Simi Valley Freedom Walk. Please join us as we remember the victims of September 11th, and honor our troops who continue to fight for freedom. The first 1000 people who register will receive a free "Freedom Walk"t-shirt and an American flag. Here is the link to register and information on this year's event.

A short program prior to the walk will include JR Martinez, a wounded warrior who now travels the country speaking of his experience, and is also now an actor on "All My Children" and Bonnie Carroll who, after losing her husband in an Air Force plane crash, founded the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS). This national organization provides Grief Camps at military bases for families of the fallen (in the war on terror).

Following the program, all guests and program participants will join in on a 1.8 mile walk which begins in the Reagan Library’s courtyard and concludes at Rancho Madera Community Park off of Wood Ranch Parkway. Complementary shuttle service will return the participants to their cars at the Library.

Also, from September 1st through September 30th the Reagan Library will be collecting donations for U.S. Soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan in the Library’s main lobby. Items must be unwrapped and in original packaging, including: packets of trail mix, peanuts, gum, hard candy and beef jerky; snacks that are not heat sensitive and will not melt in hot temperatures; individual packets of lemonade or Crystal Light for water bottles; CDs and DVDs; used video games; AA batteries; stationery; and pre-paid phone cards. Only miniature hygiene items will be accepted.
