Arkansans are honoring those who have sacrificed their lives - one mile at a time.

"We are honoring 146 Arkansans that we have lost in the current War on Terror," said Congressman French Hill.

A team of runners began Friday on a 146-mile run to honor every Arkansas service member who has died while serving since September 11th.

The 6th Annual Arkansas Run for the Fallen started in Ozark and ended Sunday on the steps of the State Capitol.

"I run for the family, for the loss and what they did for our country and what it means to do for our country," said runner Tery Denton.

Each mile of the run is dedicated to an Arkansas hero, with the run team stopping to present an American Flag and biographical card at every marker along the trail.
