Members of the Band of Mid-America team participated in the Police Memorial 5K Fun Run this morning. This 5K honors those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice and lost their lives in the line of duty. Before the race started, participants repeated the names of fallen defenders to pushups. Airman First Class Melissa Edgmon and Airman First Class Dana Bowers were the first females to cross the finish line. Way to go airmen! #usafbands #policeweek #honor
