Four months ago, on October 18, 2009, nearly 600 people laced up their running shoes and participated in the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington, DC's 2nd Annual "Race to Remember." The event supports the Memorial Fund's efforts to build the first-ever National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, DC.
