When I read this is just captured exactly how I felt this past veterans day. I really didn’t think I could have said it better and look forward to a memorial/hero WOD tomorrow! Don’t forget we will be holding an 8:30 a.m. FREE introduction to CrossFit class on the 13th.
“I don’t really know how to say it any better. We thank all of our veterans for their service and sacrifice. And when I say “our”, I mean all American veterans. These days, some seem to believe that this country isn’t the best place to live. They should tell this to all of those that struggle to get here on make-shift rafts, tucked away in trucks, and any other way they can. No other country has so many people desperate to get to it. The best nation on Earth needs the best to protect it, and that’s what we’ve got. God bless you all!” – Courtsey of CrossFit Triangle
This NEW HERO WOD was just added by CrossFit HQ, so we will be doing it on the 13th.
We have too many heroes lost and not enough workout days to commemorate them. I think it’s fitting to always think of the men and women in service, whether military or peace officers and public safety, as we do our workouts. A bit of motivation to throw a little of our sweat and maybe a drop of blood on the floor in their honor.
