Not Forgotten's Evening of Honor

Mark was recognized in Manteca, CA on April 1 at the Not Forgotten Inc's Evening of Honor, which is a fundraiser for their annual Memorial Day event - the largest on the west coast.

Thad spoke to the large group, shared the flag that Mark had wrapped around his chest plate when killed, and then Pastor Mike Dillman shared his experience from Haleyville at The Price of Freedom Race in 2013.
