The Price of Freedom

On September 29th, 2010, Senior Airman Mark Forester, beloved son, brother and friend was killed in Afghanistan while attempting to save a fallen comrade. We hope that you find Mark's example a source of inspiration, patriotism and proof that heroes are real.

Mark was a member of the 21st Special Tactics Squadron, Pope Field (formerly Pope AFB) NC. His website is dedicated to all Combat Controllers as well as US Servicemen, both past and present. We are eternally grateful for their service and sacrifice and for the freedoms we enjoy.

Mark Andrew Forester - JAG 28

Tennessee Athlete honors Mark in Duathlon World Championship

Dan Hammond never met Mark. He has never met our family. But, he learned of Mark thru a mutual friend, Leah Stacey, a few years ago. Since then, he's been a big supporter of Mark and his foundation.

He just returned home from Aviles, Spain where he competed in the International Triathlon Union's Duathlon World Championship.

He traveled to Spain after placing in the national competition last year to participate in the duathlon, a combination of running and biking. Similar to a triathlon, a duathlon does not include swimming.

"In both sports, there are national championships in the U.S. every year and then there are world championships for those who qualify for their individual countries," Hammond said. "I qualified for the standard and the sprint distances of the duathlon and chose to participate in the sprint."

You can read more about his experience and the event HERE

Dan will present his USA jersey to our parents soon.

Thank you Dan. You represented JAG 28 and The Mark Forester Foundation well.

Pics from Price of Freedom Race and 35-mile walk

This years races and walk were very successful, thanks to the help from many people and perfect weather. Here are a few pics from both events. You can view more in the photo galleries.
Thanks to generous donors we held a raffle drawing for a gun safe, hand-made quilt, and custom build AR-15.

Cecil Medlin won this AR-15 built by Ashley Blythe, with Johnnie Yellock II as a consultant. Cecil is in the Combat Control pipeline currently at STTS (Special Tactics Training Squadron) at Hurlburt Field, FL.

Ashley and Johnnie plan to built another rifle next year to be auctioned again.
Tracy Barton won this hand made quilt by Alexis Allen. Alexis donates a quilt to Mark's foundation and several other non-profits each year. She is a big supporter of our military.
Debbie Corbin won this gun safe donated by Daryl Rowe of Southland Safes. Daryl has also donated a few safes to Mark's foundation in the past that were auctioned off.
And here is the video from this year's walk:
