Something each of us knows all to well, you do not struggle alone though brothers and sisters. Til Valhalla!

The Memorial Challenge

19 pushups a day to honor the sacrifice of our troops in the Iraq and Afghan conflicts. The very least that can be done for those who gave their all for our great nation. Give or take 1 minute out of each day to honor the dead, respect their sacrifice, and catch a meaningful workout.

An additional 22 pushups can be added to honor those Veterans daily lost to suicide.

Til Valhalla brothers and sisters. Know that if you ever need to talk or vent that I have your back. Veterans today face an uphill battle with pressures on all sides conspiring against us, but if we have each others backs we will continue to adapt, overcome, and conquer.

Semper Fidelis brothers and sisters, til Valhalla.

I am proud to be an American. Land of the free because of the BRAVE!

The Ft. Hood, Tx “Boots on the Ground” memorial sums up the Memorial Challenge nicely. With 1 boot for each casualty in OIF/ OEF this powerful visual shows you just how significant a number our 6,661 fallen really is.

19 pushups a day (for 365 days) to honor those who have given their lives protecting our freedoms seems like the least we can do.
