“Last weekend in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, I had the privilege of attending the second annual Randy's Run, which is a 5K race that is run in Eden Prairie in remembrance of U.S. Air Force Major Randy Voas, who lost his life while serving our country a year and a half ago when his CV-22 Osprey helicopter tragically went down in Afghanistan. Now his family and friends have found a way to honor his life and sacrifice through an annual event that is now used to raise funds for a college scholarship awarded to students at Eden Prairie High School, where Randy graduated from in 1985. In addition to this scholarship, Randy's Run seeks to increase awareness of the contributions our men and women in uniform make every day to keep America free. Major Voas may not be with us, but his spirit does live on in the memories of his friends and family and community and through the scholarships for local high school students who share his values. ____________________”
