Mission: The mission of wear blue: run to remember? is to build running communities that honor the service and sacrifice of the American military. Goals: wear blue seeks to (1) act as a support network, (2) serve as a living memorial, and (3) bridge the gap between military and civilian communities. Vision: Within the next 10 years, wear blue will create globally recognized running communities that honor and preserve the legacy of generations of fallen service members, achieved through formal relationships with the National Guard, active duty military leadership, and community and state governance. We run for the fallen, for the fighting, and for the families. Our running community serves as a support network for those preparing for a deployment, living through a deployment, recovering from a deployment and healing from loss sustained during a deployment. With every step, wear blue creates a living memorial to the service and sacrifice of the American military. And on race day, our wear blue Mile allows all runners to pay tribute to the service members who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. It is a reminder that Freedom isn?t free ? it was bought and paid for by men and women in uniform. What makes us unique is we do not run to raise money, we raise money to run. Being a member of wear blue requires no fundraising commitment or membership dues. wear blue is an all-inclusive organization that actively strives to bridge the gap between the Military and the community. Our running group provides community members a tangible way to show their appreciation and support for the military. wear blue: run to remember was granted 501(c)(3) status in the summer of 2012.
