CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS)- Saturday is Armed Forces
Day and the 5KFVS in Cape Girardeau featured a special tribute to our troops. 

Sgt. Roman Smith, a member
of the National Guard, ran the race carrying his bag full of training gear on
his back.

He partly did it as a
training exercise, but also to remind everyone of the sacrifices he and his
fellow soldiers make every single day.   

"Everyone gets to see
just a small glimpse of what we do," said Sgt. Smith. "And, I try to
put a good name out, as often as we can. 
Because a lot of people just see what they see on the news and it's
different when you see them in person for yourself." 

CAPE GIRARDEAU, MO (KFVS)- When someone is texting and driving, they can travel an entire football field in just about the time it takes to read a text.

So, what can parents do to prevent their teen from getting in a deadly wreck from the dangerous practice?

"It's the biggest distraction on the road right now," said Road Rules Driving Instructor and Owner Debbie Michel.

Michel teaches new drivers, and one thing she makes sure they learn, don't text and drive.

"Best thing for them to do is to leave their cell phone at home, they're a new driver and they don't need that extra distraction in the car," said Michel.

Michel suggests locking cell phones in the trunk or glove box when new drivers hit the road.

"You take your eyes off the road for just a split second, and before you know it you look up and you're in the rear end of another car, it happens that quickly," said Michel.

She tells parents to lead by example.
