WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO AT FREEDOM LIFTED GROUP
Because we've seen war and the effects it has on the human mind (psyche), body, and soul. And it's not pretty.
It's not for any other reason than the men and women next to us who have been there/done that.
It effects us all differently, but we've lost too many of our brothers and sisters to sit idly by and let the bottom of a bottle, addiction, or the negative spiral take any more lives.
To this end, FLG is on a mission to honor the legacy of everyone we've personally lost and it's unfortunate that it's a decent sized list.
To be clear, not everyone listed below was lost to su***de. But if we take this list as a sample of the military and veterans at large, it's unfortunately pretty accurate. 80% of the men listed below lost their fight post-war, here at home.
DONNY
WHITT
ZACH
GUZZO
CURTIS
We are working hard to submit Hero WOD's to CrossFit HQ for every one of these brave, amazing, courageous men and to date, DONNY is an official Hero WOD and we received word today that WHITT is in processing!
What this means is that a workout is being created in their name that will be shared around the world, honoring their sacrifices.
Their legacy will live on and they will be remembered every time someone or some gym does their workout.
We will never forget you. We will always honor you. We love you. And we will LIVE each day to make you proud of us.
