A tribute to our nation's fallen service members made its way through Acworth Wednesday morning.

The Run for the Fallen started on April 7 in California.

It wraps up next month at Arlington National Cemetery.

Wednesday, Acworth Police officers and area volunteers took part in the run.

Acworth Police posted a video on their Facebook page.

At the end of each mile, the runners paused and read the names of the fallen.

The run honors the nearly 20,000 service members who have given their lives since the USS Cole bombing in October of 2000.
