The Air Force Sergeant's Association Chapter 872 celebrates an Annual Veteran's Vigil Run every November to "Honor all Veterans, Past and Present".

Next November (2016) will be the seventh event hosted by Scott Air Force Base.  For 24-hrs, participants run or walk in 30 minute periods while carrying both the United States and Prisoner of War/Missing In Action flags.  

A special tribute was made to selected veterans from the local community who have made significant sacrifices and to honor their dedicated service to our nation. 

Our junior enlisted further enhance the event by reading thousands of names from fallen heroes that have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. 

November 6, 2016 we paid our respects to Lt Roslyn "Roz" Schulte from nearby Ladue, MO.  Lt Schulte was killed in Afghanistan by a roadside bomb on May 20, 2009.  She was the first female Air Force Academy graduate to be killed by enemy action.  She was posthumously awarded the National Intelligence Medal for Valor and the Hawaii medal of Honor.  She also has three buildings named in her honor. 

November 8, 2014 we paid special tribute to TSgt (Ret) William” Tim” Wymore, an Iraq war Veteran, who suffers from many ailments as a result from his service to his country and his comrades in arms to include PTSD.

November 1st 2013 we partnered with the City of Shiloh and coordinated our run with Al Udeid Air Base to pay respects to Air Force Captain Brandon Cyr (27 Apr 13, Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan) and Army Specialist Ja'mel Bryant (27 Sept 08, Wahida, Iraq).  Captain Cyr's father, Navy Captain Phillip Cyr arrived with his wife and daughter from Woodbridge, VA and Specialist Bryant's mother, Ms. Cecilia Eiland arrived with her son and extended family from Belleville, IL to help us honor their loved ones.  Over 495 people joined forces for this awesome event.
