“Remember The Fallen & Families…”

We Performed 2 WODs This Past Week In Remembrance Of The Horrible Attacks On The United States Known Simply As “9/11″…

September 11th, 2001 Was A Day Many Will Never Forget… Ever…

Most Will Always Remember “9/11″… But What Do Some Remember ABOUT That Day & Why We “Remember” It???

Before I Go On… I’ll Just Get This Out The Way… The Attacks On America On September 11, 2001… DID NOT Make Me Walk Into The Marine Corps Recruiting Office & Demand I Be Sent OverSeas To “Fight The Terrorists!!!”… My Plan To Join The Marine Corps Was Already Set In Motion Months Before That… “9/11” Just Made My “Already Made Up Mind” Decision That Much More “Real”… And That’s The End Of My Talking About “Me & 9/11″…

On “9/11″… EVERYONE Is Super Patriotic!!! Which Is Great!!! But A Lot Of People… Especially Veteran’s… Try To Make “9/11” A Celebration Of Why They Joined The Military & All The Hardships They Had To Endure In “Boot Camp” Or Deployments… And I Get It… One Of The Biggest Questions You Could Find On Social Media Was… “Where Were You On 9/11?” Or “How Did 9/11 Chagne Your Life?”

“9/11” Is Not Veteran’s Day… It’s Not Memorial Day… It’s Not A Day To Celebrate Our Current Military/FireFighters/Law Enforcement Officers/Emergency Personnel… We/They Have Our/Their Own Day…

“9/11” Is About All The Men… Women & Children Who Lost Their Lives On That Unforeseen Day… It’s Remembering The Families That Were Impacted By The People Who Were Murdered In The Towers… In The Pentagon… In The Planes That Went Down…

It’s Not About “Us”… In No Way Is That Taking Away From Anyone’s Service To Country… But… We’re Still Here…

So When You Say “Never Forget” Or “Always Remember”…

Never Forget The Fallen… Always Remember The Fallen…

Never Forget The Families Of The Fallen & Remember That They Though They Still Might Be Here… A Huge Part Of Their Lives Are Gone…

End Of Rant…

Alright… Monday’s Gonna Be Fast But Rough… Thrusters & Some Kind Of “Pull Up” Variation… Tuesday’s Gonna Be Fast But Rough… Power Cleans… Hang Cleans… Ring Dips… & “STOHs”…

And Wednesday… Wednesday Might As Well Be A “Friday” WOD… DeadLifts… HandStand Push Ups… Clean & Jerks… Double Unders… Sit Ups… Thrusters… & Pull Ups…
