It was my honor to lead a great group of men this morning as we recognize, remember, and celebrate our Veterans. Whether in times of war or peace, those who have stepped up to serve our country deserve the recognition and praise of all those who call this wonderful country our home. My sincere gratitude and lots of prayers go to all the Veterans of the past, present, and future.

*Sufficiently lathered in the humid air…we moseyed to the train tracks and levee.

Another mosey led us to the statue in front of the zoo for some partner work. Each group was responsible for 300 total reps completed via 5 rounds of: 20 WWII Sit Ups, 20 Merkins, 20 Bonnie Blairs. While one partner repped it out, the other partner ran a short loop in front of the Zoo. Partners switch out and pick up the count.
To close we circled up on the field in front of the zoo for some Mary:
In Cadence: 20 X American Hammer, 10 X Penguin, 10 X Box Cutter, 20 X Dying Cockroach, and On your own X 20 WWII Sit Ups.
Back to the flag for some light plank work, then Count-o-rama, Name-o-rama, announcements and intentions.
Seaman will be Qing a Sunnyside on Thanksgiving Day @ 8:00am, Drew Brees Playground.
Prayers were offered up for spoken intentions, silent intentions, and all of our Veterans.
Gentlemen, thank you. As always, stepping up to the Flag at 5:30 finds me one way and stepping away from it at 6:15 finds me a little better.
