The trek will be led by Sergeant Major Justin “JD” LeHew, USMC (Ret.), and Staff Sergeant Ray “Shino” Shinohara, USMC Veteran, two Marines continuing the mission of honoring service, sacrifice, and remembrance.  Sergeant Major Coleman “Rocky” Kinzer, USMC (Ret.) will be providing operational support and social media commentary during this year’s continuation of the TLR mission.

JD and Rocky collectively served in the United States Marine Corps for a total of 56 years on active duty and are two of America’s most highly decorated combat veterans who have served since the end of the Vietnam War.  They have been working together for years, not just in uniform, but also outside of it as they have been circumnavigating the globe in the search for America’s missing and killed in action since departing the active ranks of the US Military, investing their own money in the search and recovery of our nations lost heroes.  Now with the addition of another highly decorated Marine, 11 year Marine Corps veteran Ray Shinohara, the three Marines together are continuing this epic journey across America to spread the word of the plight of our nations missing and killed in action as well as reinforce the principle of never leaving a fallen comrade behind and I am my brother and sisters keeper
