Military Dictionary and Gazetteer
march
The movement of a body of men from one place to another. In marching it cannot be too strongly inculcated that every just movement and manœuvre depends upon the correct equality of march established and practiced by all the troops of the same army, and that when this is not attended to confusion must follow on the junction of several battalions. Also, the distance marched over; as, a march of 20 miles.
march
To cause to move in military array; to push forward, as troops; to cause to advance in a steady, regular, or stately manner.
march
The military signal for soldiers to move; a piece of music, designed or fitted to accompany and guide the movement of troops; or a piece of music composed after the measure of a march. Also, the command for soldiers to move.
march
The length of a day’s march for troops of any arm depends, to a great extent, upon the condition of the roads, the supply of water, forage, etc.; also upon the advantages to be gained over an enemy.

I look towards a future when I am completely healed and cancer free. I ask for prayers of strength and courage as this journey continues.
