The mission to honor the fallen is personal for one soldier-led foundation.
Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 Michael “Mike” Gomolka and his wife, Samantha, have spent the last seven years remembering Special Operations soldiers who have been killed in action since Sept. 11, 2001. Their nonprofit, Project 33 Memorial Foundation, organizes a 6.8 mile run annually to highlight the story – and name – of those who have sacrificed their lives in service to the nation. This year’s honoree is Army Sgt. First Class Marcus V. Muralles.
