Name-O-Rama
COT / BOM: We honor the service and sacrifice for those who died in the service of our country. Because our country is an imperfect home, we strive to make it better so that they will not have died in vain.
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
The ultimate example of sacrifice is found in the Person of Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for the sins of the world.
Moleskin: This Memorial Day workout provided an opportunity for the Memphis PAX to be together in one spot, and 46 Men Converged at The Barracks. No one left without a physical beatdown and a reminder of the sacrifice given on our behalf. We thanked the Sky Q for giving us countrymen who would give the “last full measure of devotion” and asked for strength to do the work of making this country worth the sacrifice.
Red Roofer Splashed Merlot.
One FNG left early and didn’t get a name. [EDIT: He was named Trainwreck the next day.]
