Only another 1,000 miles to go

Ernie Andrus, a 91-year-old World War II veteran, is running cross-country from California to Georgia. He is not doing it in one fell swoop. As of March he had run from California to Texas. I don't know how long it took him, but he plans on reaching Georgia in the next two years. He is running by himself, although he says, "I'm sure there are many others my age who could do what I'm doing, It's just not something they want to do."

He is running to raise money for the LST 325 Memorial, which hopes to bring Ernie's old World War II landing craft back to Normandy for the next D-Day commemoration.
