Memorial Day is about honoring our servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice. Do a Challenge, organize a ruck, talk about an American hero who passed, visit a war memorial in your town and spend a couple minutes in silence — what’s important is that you do something.

25 years ago today the Battle of Mogadishu was raging in a far off corner of the world. 18 too many US Servicemen lost their lives as US forces successfully completed the mission. We honor the Fallen of that day, one mile at a time. #RLTW

On Wednesday we will begin weekly Workout Wednesday videos. Workouts that don't require a gym membership, just a ruck with some weight (sandbags are fun too). So grab some friends and stay tuned for an effective and fun way to crush your 2018 goals. #RuckUp
