2019 March for the Fallen

On Saturday, I had a chance to be part of a great event, the 2019 March for the Fallen which honors Americans who have fallen in combat. It’s a long march at Fort Indiantown Gap, PA.

The event is sponsored by the Pennsylvania National Guard. Many gold star families are part of the event. Also, many folks from finance Twitter joined as well.

The full march is 28 miles with a 35-pound pack but I choose the less rigorous 14-mile option sans ruck.

Here’s an odd side note. When we started, it was a pretty big crowd. Yet when I finished, there were huge gaps between marchers.

I was almost the exact median finisher for our group yet there was a full minute between me and the next marcher behind me.

It’s nothing fancy; it’s just dispersion which something we see in finance all the time. But it’s weird to be a part of it and see its dramatic effect in real life.
