New running track in Moorhead is dedicated to a fallen soldier
Moorhead, Minn. (WDAY TV) - It was an event 3-years in the making. Loved ones of Staff Sergeant Andrew Nelson dedicated a new running track in his honor.By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Nelson was killed in August of 2007 while serving his third tour of duty in Iraq. He was avid runner and former Saint Joseph's student and a Shanley High grad. Family and friends helped raise money to build the new running track near St. Joseph's.
"We've built something. We've made a difference in this community and we've done it all together. Not just the committee, but all of the people that were here today and all of our 200 donors. What a remarkable accomplishment."
A granite memorial for Nelson will be erected at the track in the coming months.
