The Thang:
Mosey to the soccer field where YHC read about Matt Maupin and discussed that he sacrificed everything for us to have freedom so we should give 110% in honor of him.  Take a moment to read it.

U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Keith “Matt” Maupin, 24, of Batavia, Ohio, disappeared on April 9, 2004, when insurgents south of Baghdad attacked his convoy with small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades. His remains were found on March 20, 2008. Prior to his disappearance, Maupin served as part of the 724th Transportation Company in Bartonville, Illinois.
He is survived by his mother, Carolyn; father, Keith; a brother and sister; and many other friends and family members.
It went like this:
800 meter Run
49 Push-ups
49 Sit-ups
49 Air Squats
*Rinse and Repeat for 4 Rounds*

Moleskin:
Once again, great work by all today!!  It’s always an honor to lead the group of men that post at Midoriyama.  I discussed “Legacy” and asked each of the PAX, what would people remember you for if today was your last day?  I try each day to be a better husband, father, and all around man!!  I trust that the Lord has my ultimate path and I need to continue to put all faith in him.  Thanks again for the opportunity to lead, until next time….Pizza Man is OOOOOUUUUUTTTTTTT!!
