Race Details Run Walk Remember
Purpose
Tom touched the lives of people everywhere he went...from friends and family in Council Bluffs, to soldiers and civilians in Iraq, where he courageously protected us until his time on Earth was taken away. He lived among us in our community and continues to live on in our hearts.
Tom was the ultimate United States Marine and he deserves to be remembered!
The proceeds from the Houser Hustle will benefit two great causes:
1. Thomas Houser Memorial Scholarship at St. Albert High School
2. Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial Fund – Tom strongly believed that these soldiers were forgotten heroes. They also led Tom's funeral procession.
If you didn't know Tom, this is a great race to show your appreciation to our military men and women who sacrifice their lives for us. What a great way to say, THANK YOU!
