SEATTLE — Blue is the color of the day in DuPont this Memorial Day, as it has been every Memorial Day now for 15 years. It's the color Lisa Hallett chose when creating the Wear Blue: Run to Remember 5k after her husband, Army Capt. John Hallett III died August 25, 2009, serving during Operation Enduring Freedom.

The "Say Their Names Marathon" will follow the 69th Annual Commonwealth's Memorial Day Ceremony and feature the reading of nearly 12,000 names of Virginians killed or missing in action.
