<h5><span style="text-decoration:underline"><strong>Our Mission Statement: </strong></span><br />The men and women who leave military service often leave behind a sense of community, purpose, and identity. The community they leave behind is their military community; the purpose they leave behind is what type of work their unit performed and the identity they leave is their specific role in their unit. It is difficult to replace those things as they transition into civilian life, so it is no wonder that veterans often feel marginalized.<br />The mission of the 4Star4Mile Race is to provide a platform for a shared experience between our communities and our veterans. For civilians, as they run alongside the annual Veterans Day parade, they see, and can feel, the immense pride and commitment of those who served and who continue to serve, and for the veterans they see that our communities recognize our proud history and applaud our commitment, helping to provide a true sense of community and purpose that veterans long for and deserve.</h5>
<h5>It is the hope of the 4Star4Mile Race that this provides for a mutually beneficial, supportive experience. </h5>
<h5>*This is a charitable event with proceeds going to the annual Detroit Veterans Day Parade.</h5>
