WE ARE PROUD TO BE PART OF THE SUFFOLK COUNTY VETERANS RUN SERIES

Jordan's Run Veterans' Memorial 5K Run/Walk is a USATF-Certified 5K Run

This beautiful, scenic course winds through historic Sag Harbor Village taking you past Pierson High School where Jordan graduated, past the harbor and windmill, and a loop over and back on the NYS Lance Cpl. Veterans' Memorial Bridge which was named in his honor. You'll pass a marina near the 2nd water stop, where he held a summer job, and see Oakland cemetery where our hero rests. Jordan Haerter grew up in the small village of Sag Harbor, NY, and graduated from Pierson High School in 2006. He went to Parris Island for the 12-week boot camp as a recruit in September 2006 and became a proud United States Marine on December 1st, 2006. He was assigned in fleet with 1st Battalion, 9th Marines, and deployed to Ramadi, Iraq, in March of 2008. LCpl Jordan C. Haerter, alongside Cpl. Jonathan T. Yale were guarding the checkpoint and Nasser Joint Security Station. They stopped an explosive-laden suicide tank truck from entering the compound with precision firing, the explosion taking their lives but saving the lives of 33 Marines, Iraqi policemen, and countless Iraqi civilians.

JORDAN WAS KILLED IN ACTION ON 22 APRIL 2008, JUST 19 YEARS OLD.

HE WAS SAG HARBORS FIRST BATTLEFIELD LOSS SINCE WORLD WAR II. THE 2 MARINES POSTHUMOUSLY EARNED THE NAVY CROSS FOR EXTRAORDINARY HEROISM, OUR NATION'S SECOND-HIGHEST AWARD FOR VALOR IN COMBAT.
