SANTA ROSA, Fla. (AP) â A 7-year-old girl has completed a 7-mile run in honor of her father and six Marines who were killed in a Black Hawk training crash.
Makenzie Kemp and her mother, Jenna, were already participating in the Marine Raider Foundation s 5-mile run in Pinehurst, North Carolina over Memorial Day weekend.
At the last minute, the girl asked to extend it an extra two miles in honor of each marine in her dad s unit.
The little girl was only a year old when Sgt. Kerry Michael Kemp was killed during a training mission in Santa Rosa Sound, Florida in 2015.

What if you were part of a promising young rock band that had the real potential to make it to the big stage? If I’m a teenager, that’s a dream come true. But what would it take to give all that up? I can’t think of anything. Founding member of the popular all-veteran rock band Silence and Light, Brad Thomas, did exactly that. He decided to give up his dream of becoming a rock star to not only enlist in the U.S. Army but to join one of the world’s most elite fighting units Delta Force. And after spending 20 years with the Army, he went back to music, his passion.
In his effort to receive a full pardon from President Donald Trump, former-Marine and owner of the multi-million dollar apparel business American AF Shawn Wylde has enlisted the help of Tim Parlatore, a former Naval Officer and attorney specializing in military law who successfully defended Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher.
Mr. Wylde is seeking a pardon for two counts of wire fraud, which he faced as a result of “accounting irregularities that would normally be handled administratively” but “were somehow transformed into a federal criminal investigation resulting in a very unfair guilty plea,” Parlatore said, adding that one of the counts Mr. Wylde plead guilty to was “not even an actual crime.”
