20 Air Force Special Tactics Airmen passed through Acadiana Wednesday on a ruck march to Florida.

The airmen are marching 830 miles starting in Texas and ending in Florida. The Special Tactics Memorial March is in honor of fallen service members and their families.

Some members of the entourage stopped by Acadiana High School to tell the students about the march and about life in the service.
