Tuesday is Veteran’s Day – the day we remember those that have fought in the wars of the United States. I just spent a few days at my alma mater, there The Citadel where I got to hang out with some amazing veterans. I’m proud to call these guys (and now girls, although we didn’t have girls when I went there) classmates and friends. I heard stories that would make you laugh, cry, be amazed and be thankful. As we remind ourselves with the Hero WODs, these experiences don’t come without a price. The halls of my old barracks are now adorned with the names of the men we lost, and I could see the pain in my friends eyes as I listened to their stories.
We celebrate these men and women the best way we know how – by working and sweating with each other.
There is one class on Veteran’s Day at 9am.
