Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a day to remember soldiers who died in active military service.  Everyone loves Murph (both the man and the wod), but we have decided to show some love to another American hero this Memorial Day.

U.S Army Staff Sergeant Edwardo Loredo, 34, of Houston, Texas, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, based in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, was killed on June 24, 2010 in Jelewar, Afghanistan, when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device.  He is survived by his wife, First Sergeant Jennifer Loredo; his daughter, Laura Isabelle; his stepdaughter, Alexis; and his son Eduardo Enrique.

6 rounds

24 Air Squats

24 Push Ups

24 Walking Lunges

400m Run

At this point, it looks like we will be in the clear, however, Steve, Haas, and I have talked about it and we feel that the purpose of the holiday and the reason the wod exists at all dictate that we will be out there even if we get a little rain.  These men and woman gave the ultimate sacrifice for us and our country.  Tomorrow our worse case scenario is that we get a little wet.

We will be meeting at 11am in the open field across the street from the Railroad Museum just barely west of downtown Plainfield on 126.  If going east on 126, you will turn right immediately before the river/bridge.  I believe its part of Settler's Park.  I can't find an address for the exact field/area, but the address of the Railroad Museum is below.

15033 S Wood Farm Road

Plainfield, IL 60544

We plan to make our way over to Tap house after the wod for a beverage and maybe a snack.  Hope to see you there! =)
