Oregon Trooper Greg Walker's Challenge Comes to Indiana-Ohio Border
Trooper Greg Walker was an Oregon State Police Trooper who lost his battle with cancer on July 22, 2016. The Greg Walker Challenge is to have his OSP challenge coin photographed in the hands of troopers in all 49 state agencies. Sunday that challenge coin made it’s way to the Indiana-Ohio border where Indiana State Trooper Eric Fields and Ohio Trooper Steve Ilo were photographed with the coin at the Indiana-Ohio border on I-70.
The challenge was started by Trooper Walker’s good friend Colorado State Trooper Jeremiah Sharp, prior to Walker succumbing to cancer. According to a post on the Facebook page entitled Trooper Walker’s Challenge, “When the coin has completed the journey, another recipient will follow. Trooper Walker's Challenge will remain a movement in Greg's honor, to recognize the challenge of other Law Enforcement Professionals who are fighting for their lives.” The next recipient will have a coin circulated all over the U.S. on their behalf, just like we are doing for Trooper Walker.
