"To keep up their morale, a Marine walks the walk" - Asbury Park Press, 1/21/07

Craig Breiner addressed those who supported his passionate second attempt at walking the American flag from 16th Avenue in Belmar to the Statehouse in Trenton.

The Howell resident [held] the flag over his shoulder, as he paced toward Freehold along Route 33, a quarter of the way into his 50-mile trek early Saturday morning.

Saturday's long trek ended at the Statehouse around 9:30 p.m. after more than 14 1/2 hours.

I saw this man walking on Saturday morning.

Jeff asked me whether I offered him a ride.

I didn't because he had a car in front of him and a car behind him ... and he was going the opposite way, into an incredibly strong headwind.
