Memorial Day is about remembering and honoring those who've served past and present. Remember those men and women who gave their blood, sweat and tears in defense of this country. Honoring those who've paid the ultimate sacrifice. Men and women who never had the fortunate chance to return home and be amongst family and friends. I look back on those days out in Iraq most especially, amongst my marines and fellow corpsman with great fondness. The highlight of my service. Some of the worst times of my life, but proud to have served with my marines and fellow corpsman of 1/7. It's not only today that I honor and remember all of you. For some of us, memorial day...

When you give it your all, you leave no room for regrets. In honor of those we lost, to those whose names we remember with these workouts, we will never forget. This past weekend, my gym held a 24 Hour Hero WOD with $1 minimum donation to complete one workout. We at Fortis Et Fidelis, decided this was a great opportunity to give back to FitOps Foundation, a non profit organization that gives veterans an all expenses paid 3 week course to become certified and qualified personal trainers. Seeing the opportunity, I wanted to ensure I gave back to a foundation that I was a part of. FitOps is a not only a team, but a family that continues to...
