Old Glory Run coverage from May 16, 2009

As part of DigElog ROCORI’s extended coverage of the 2nd annual Old Glory Run, we had a chance to catch up with John Swanson, one of the inspirations for the Old Glory Run. Swanson, a 10-year military veteran lost his leg in combat. Humble by nature, he often tries to avoid the spotlight but at the same time understands the importance of sharing his story. Like so many other veterans, he appreciates the efforts of people like Curt and Pam Karls that go the extra mile to help reintegrate returning soldiers back into society.

In this story, Swanson discusses how life has changed for him since the last time we saw him. He also shares how the Disabled American Veterans (D.A.V.) has helped with his medical issues over the past year. For those that are not familiar with the Old Glory Run, all proceeds from the event are donated to the Minnesota Chapter of the D.A.V. This is a must see story, and as the 4th of July approaches it is a great reminder of the sacrifices that others make for our freedom.

Old Glory Run Inspiration Award given to Sean Osterman

May 20, 2011
Cold Spring, Minnesota USA

An Inspiration Award Banquet took place at the Great Blue Heron Restaurant in Cold Spring this evening, where Cpl. Sean Osterman was honored with the Annual Inspiration award. Osterman died in December from combat injuries serving as a Marine in Afghanistan.

Each year, as a part of the opening ceremonies of the Old Glory Run, the award is given to someone who inspires the community to give back to veterans. Sean’s mother, Kelly Hugo, accepted the award this evening following a video tribute to him.

Tomorrow, over 1400 runners are registered to participate in 4th annual Old Glory Run, the proceeds of which benefit the local chapter of Disabled American Veterans. This great turn out should afford another sizable donation to the DAV this year, which will be added to the $50,000 that was donated during the first 3 years of this great fund raising event.
