The Quantico Area Chapter (QAC) of the United States Naval Academy Alumni Association (USNAAA) is sponsoring a 5K and 1 Mile ‘Run to Honor’ this Memorial Day on the grounds of the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, VA to honor the sacrifice of one of our nation’s heroes.

For 2026, QAC honors Brian Ray Hoke, United States Naval Academy Class of 1996, who was killed in action with militants from ISIS near Jalalabad, Afghanistan. Visit link for his story: https://usnamemorialhall.org/index.php/BRIAN_R._HOKE

All proceeds raised go to scholarships for local high school students to attend USNA Summer Seminar and STEM Camps in hopes of inspiring future Navy and Marine Corps leaders. Visit link for details: https://go.navyonline.com/blog/usna-summer-seminar-stem
