Brian Bowman born on July 23rd, 1985 and lost his life on January 3rd, 2010. He was a medic in the Army and had served four years and approx 1 month prior to his accident he had re-enlisted. The day of his accident him and t...he rest of the platoon where retreating from a town that they had gone to go help out but when they arrived they found a ghost town and knew at that point that trouble was headed there way...when they headed out of the town the first explosion went off and killed one of the soldiers instantly and at that point they were under attack...they stood their ground and fought back and in the middle of the night Brian and another buddy of his went to rescue the soldier who had lost his life and wanted to take him back to his family...as they were headed back and had almost made it back to the convoy Bryan stepped on an explosive that was hidden...and it was then he lost his life in an instant. He left 2 Sisters Erin and Sara, a mother whom you will hopefully meet and her name is Gill Gerdes and a father Bob Bowman, and his wife Casie Bowman behind.

Army Maj. Horst G. Moore

Died November 9, 2004 serving during Operation Iraqi Freedom

38, of San Antonio; assigned to 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 25th Infantry Division (Stryker Brigade Combat Team), Fort Lewis, Wash.; killed Nov. 9 when enemy mortar rounds detonated within his unit living area in Mosul, Iraq.
 
By Lynn Brezosky
Associated Press
 
LOS FRESNOS, Texas — A German-born Army officer from the Rio Grande Valley was among five Texans killed in action in Iraq this week.
Maj. Horst Gerhard Moore, 38, died Tuesday under mortar fire in the northern city of Mosul, said his wife, Raquel Vallejo-Moore.
The Department of Defense also confirmed the deaths of Army Sgt. John B. Trotter, 25, of Marble Falls and Staff Sgt. Russell Slay, 28, of Humble, both killed in action Tuesday in Iraq’s Anbar province, which includes the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah.
The Defense Department also said Spc. Travis Babbitt, 24, of Uvalde, died Tuesday when his patrol came under fire in Baghdad.
Meanwhile, family members confirmed the death of Marine Staff Sgt. Gene Ramirez, 27, of Lytle.
Moore, known to friends as Gary, was part of the 2nd Infantry Division out of Fort Lewis, Wash. He left for Iraq in September on a 14-month deployment.
Vallejo-Moore described her husband as a career soldier whose 16 years of service started right after high school and was interrupted only while he pursued a college degree.
“He was one of those patriotic individuals who loved serving his country,” she said.
Moore was born to a military family in Berlin and was raised in Oklahoma. He met his wife while at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio.
When he was home, he loved to spend time with her and their 2-year-old daughter, she said. He also loved to work on his old trucks.
She said they last spoke Sunday night, when he called to wish her a happy 34th birthday.
“It was 3 a.m. over there, but he stayed up all that night to make sure he could call at a decent time,” she said. “He was a dedicated father and husband, a positive individual.”

This WOD is a very especial one, even though Bret Snipper was not from the Valley a friend of ours at RCF has asked me to honor him. Why is it special?? Because Bret, while he served overseas, he was not killed by an enemy bullet, bomb, or ...other. He was killed by American greedy and ignorance. HOW? Bret was diagnosed with PTSD, a disease that many of our men and women are being diagnosed with after serving and protecting our country. Why is this still special? Because Bret, like many of US are ignored by society, and see PTSD as not been an injury or a wound sustained from direct combat, when in fact it is. It is a wound or injury or illness sustained from the SHIT we see out there. Many people in society only see it on their play station or on TV. Bret after serving his country became ILL, but his pain was unbearable that he decided to take his own life. Bret Snipper, was a hell of Corpsman, an outstanding individual, and loyal AMERICAN.
Society fails to recognize that what we have is indeed a serious wound that may never be cured, I in fact was diagnosed with such, PTSD. I in fact attempted suicide several times and ended up in hospitals. I in fact still suffer from such moments at times, but thanks to God, my family, friends, and my will to continue I can control it. I do suffer at times, my family suffers with me, and my kids have seen me. So I know what Bret Snipper may have possibly gone through.
So on this day, let’s not just remember those that have died in the battle field from a bullet or from a bomb, but also those of US that have left our souls, spirits, and minds in those God forsaken lands, while we fought for what many claim to be an unjust war or a bad political agenda, for it may be so, but who will answer when the country calls for help…YOU???

For Time


Yes, this WOD pushes you to lift heavy weight, ladies. Before you complain, please read the following:

I used to want to be thin; now I proudly show off those lines in my shoulders and abs.
I used to want the pounds to decrease on the scale; now I watch them increase on the bar.
I used to exercise out of desperation; now I crave the feeling of a sub-5 Fran.
I used to eat for comfort, now I eat for fuel.
I used to do zumba, aerobics, random machines, i.e. waste my time; now I’m a Crossfitter.
I used to think being sweaty was gross; now I bask in hard-earned sweat angels.
I used to feel insecure about my physical capabilities; now I feel empowered.
I used to seek the attention of douche bags that also sought out the frail, skinny girl; now I’ve found the man that values and appreciates a strong woman.
I used to follow; now I lead.
I used to make excuses; now I show others how to get rid of theirs.
I used to cave under pressure; now I know discipline.
I used to claim ignorance on nutrition; now knowledge is power.
I used to compare myself to all the other women around me; now I stand confidently, looking forward.
I used to dream of doing things; now I just do them.
I used to be limited; now I’m unstoppable.
This is my new definition and my perspective of what a beautiful, healthy, capable woman should be.
I’ve been permanently rewired and never plan to go back.
I don’t need to look like the girl on the cover…
....I’d rather know I could overhead squat her.

5. DB Thrusters (20/15)

Four Rounds of the aforementioned
*1 Minute of Rest after each round

Count Your Reps as a collective whole


For the record, I would like to note the accuracy with which the title of the WOD fits with the WOD itself:
res·pite [res-pit] noun, verb, -pit·ed, -pit·ing. –noun
1. a delay or cessation for a time, especially of anything distressing or trying; an interval of relief: to toil without respite.
2. temporary suspension of the execution of a person condemned to death; reprieve.
Yup, that pretty much covers what you shouold feel during the breaks in between rounds--a temporary suspension of your execution--but you're going to feel like a total champ afterward!
