Organiser's description
The memorial run honors fallen Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve Air Transportation teammates, known as Port Dawgs, from across the Air Force over the past year and has become a significant tradition within the Air Transportation community.
In 2011, the Air Transportation Community experienced a tragic loss of Technical Sgt. Curtis E. EcCleston and it 2013, the Port Dawgs at Kadena Air Base held a memorial run in honor of Curtis. This event would become an annual event held at other units across the world and career field. EcCleston's aunt and uncle, Sharon and Michael Jay Loving, attended the PDMR ceremony.
The PDMR honors the sacrifices made by Air Transportation Airmen and serves as a unifying event for the Air Force and Port Dawg community said, Lt. Col. Juan Pizarro, 305th Aerial Port Squadron Commander. It symbolizes the camaraderie and solidarity among our Airmen and provides an opportunity for current and former service members to connect, share experiences, and support one another.
