As most know, I am a big history guy. When I saw the storm was open I had to Q for a Pearl Harbor remembrance workout since I can’t make Wednesday and this being the 75 year anniversary. The weather didn’t want to cooperate even after the weather man said it would be clear….he lied. As I sat in the parking lot wondering if anyone would show, in rolls Sargento. I am ashamed to admit it but there was talk about just heading out. Then, in rolls Anthrax fresh off of a full nights sleep with no interruptions from a waking baby. Now let’s get to it.

Pledge

Warm Up

mosey to the awnings covering some walk for 12 SSH ic, 7 Mericans ic, 19 squats single count and 41 Moroccan Night clubs ic. (12/7/1941).

The Thang

this was supposed to be partners work with different numbers playing into it, but hard to do with three so time to modify.

19 mountain climbers for the number of ships lost

169 lunges single count for the number of planes lost. These were broken up among the Pax at 57 each with a mosey around the block.

There were 2 waves of attacks so we do 19 mericans and 169 flutter kicks.

There was a total of 2,403 casualties so we do a 24 second wall sit followed by 3 balls to the wall. Again, 2 waves….you get this by now.

Out of the total losses, the USS Arizona accounted for 1,177 of them. So, we do 11 Burpees and 77 catcher squats

since this is the 75 anniversary, we do some Mary to get to 75 reps. We did WWII sit-ups 15 ic, French…no no no. FREEDOM FRIES 15ic, Peter Parkers 15i. Then on to Pax choice – Dying Cockroaches for the bombs we dropped for victory throughout the efforts 15 ic, Dolly 15ic in honor of the ladies and finish it up with the American Hammer 10ic. Yes it’s more than 75, but our vets didn’t just stop, so neither did we.

Nameorama, COT. Prayers for Brownstreaks son going on a mission trip, Sargentos sick 2.0, continued prayers as usual.

Moleskin

It was an honor to be out there today to do exercises in remembrance of men and women much younger than me and much braver than me had to deal with that day and on a daily basis from there out. A lot of great men and women emerged from that day and a magnificent country was solidified. There has been a lot of turmoil in our country as of late, but just remembering that day and the subsequent war and all veterans and men and women who answer the call is the reason I am proud to be an American.
