Ambassador Cianchette & Team San Jose Participate in Special Olympics Torch Run

San Jose-November 25, 2008

Ambassador Cianchette and Team San Jose, including Marines and other Embassy runners, proudly participated in the Special Olympics torch run with Special Olympics athletes and San Jose Police Officers. On arrival, the Embassy community joined in the celebration, lining the sidewalk to welcome the torch and participating in a brief ceremony in which the Ambassador honored the Special Olympics history and creed, and the dedication of the athletes. Following the ceremony, the Embassy community once again lined the departure route of the torch, taking advantage of the unique opportunity to touch a piece of Olympic history as it continued its way to the National Stadium for the first ever Central American and Caribbean regional games.
