Mother Nature delivered the perfect day for the 5th Annual Walk for the Wounded held at Rose Tree Park in Upper Providence Township on Saturday.

Family, friends, and visitors from Haverford Township and the rest of Delaware County and beyond came out by the thousands to recognize the injured soldiers and help raise money for them and their families with personal and financial needs.

There was much to do for all ages. There were several interactive military displays, including a medical tent from the 11th Airborne, and a UH1 helicopter that kids could sit in and pose for photos.
