Joseph Haynes Davis said "the energy was extremely high at the annual U.S. Coast Guard marathon with around 2,000 dedicated runners and chair athletes in Elizabeth City. The streets were filled with excitement and determination. It was an honor to celebrate the vital bond between our U.S. Coast Guard and the Elizabeth City community, recognizing the sacrifices of our Active Duty personnel, resilient civilians, dedicated volunteers, and the incredible Coast Guard Foundation. Before ringing the bell, we paid special tribute to the selfless service of individuals like Petty Officer Tyler Jaggers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. I extend my deepest gratitude to the commandant for ensuring this year's marathon took place. It was so uplifting, and it provided everyone in the community with the boost we all needed and strengthened our sense of unity." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
