Marathon Run Underway


A U.S. Army veteran is on the road in a marathon run from International Falls to Galveston, Texas.

51-year-old Mike Ehredt was given a military gun salute Thursday morning to start the run that will remember U.S. soldiers killed while on duty in Afghanistan.

Ehredt is placing a Flag with the name of a solder killed ever mile on his trek.

He made a similar run in 2010 to recognized soldiers killed while fighting in Iraq.
