Rip McGhee.

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.

Apologize for crossposting. And for those not familiar with CrossFit, "Headquarters" aka Greg and Lauren Glassman, dedicates a handful of named workouts a year to those who sacrifice their lives during sworn service.

Today's Workout of the Day is in Honor of another serviceman.
