The run will start next to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, then pass through several other downtown sites, including Constitution Gardens, West Potomac Park and the JFK Hockey Fields before ending near the World War II Memorial, according to a press release.

“I learned in the Army one of the best ways to wake up is with a morning run. So, after introducing legislation with @RepGallagher to build a memorial to veterans of the Global War on Terror in Washington, we’re going on a sunrise run to the potential sites,” Crow tweeted Monday.

Crow and Gallagher will be joined by three other House lawmakers who have served in the military since the 9/11 attacks.

The introduction of the legislation comes after Congress approved language banning authorized war memorials on federal land until a decade after the conflict ends, the news outlet notes.
