Col. Jack Mosher, Chief of Staff for the Maine Army

description

Summary

Col. Jack Mosher, Chief of Staff for the Maine Army National Guard and avid runner, recently completed the Boston Marathon in honor of Cpl. Andrew Hutchins, a 20 year old military policeman from Maine who died in Afghanistan. Hutchins’ daughter, Allyssa gave him a big hug and a kiss after he gave her his finisher’s medal and the shirt with her dad’s picture on it. This was not the first race he has run with the Hutchins family in his thoughts. Mosher said he feels a connection to their specific family, and that’s why he continues to run for them. “They have a great story, and are very emblematic of all our soldiers. I will continue to run for him so that he is not forgotten.” (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Angela Parady.)
