Ruck March participants honor Gold Star families

Joint base community members break a sweat during the 10K Gold Star Ruck March, Oct. 12, 2013, at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, N.J. Gold Star families include any individuals who have lost a family member serving in the military. “Events like this mean so much to me,” said Dianne Hammond, mother of Army Sgt. Alessandro Plutino, who was killed in Afghanistan Aug. 8, 2011. “It’s a reminder to us that our loved ones are not forgotten.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Ryan Throneberry/Released)
