[7:57 PM]
Last year, the IPC committee thought it would be a great idea to use RED (Remember Everyone Deployed) WODs as the base for all our workouts. Since F3Greenwood planted its first shovel flag 10 years ago, RED WODs have been an integral part of our fabric as every Friday is REDFriday around here.

So, this week, for week 0 we present the Tellier WOD dedicated to U.S. Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte, NC (USA) a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, 2007, of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan.

The previous April, Tellier’s unit was conducting a mounted patrol when one of its vehicles drove over and detonated a bomb, which set the vehicle on fire, according to a statement from the 82nd Airborne. Tellier pulled two paratroopers out of the vehicle to safety, suffering severe burns to his hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with valor for his actions.

After he was burned, Tellier jumped up in the turret to return fire, said Sgt. Michael Layton, a member of Tellier’s unit. A lieutenant made Tellier get out of the vehicle because of his injuries, Layton said. “Zachary Tellier has to be the biggest hero I’ve ever known or heard of, not just because of what he did, but because of his personality,” Layton said. “He came in the Army because he wanted to be around soldiers and serve his country, and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

Tellier is survived by his wife, Sara Tellier of Atlanta, Ga.; his father, David W. Tellier of Groton, Mass.; and his mother, Pamela Rodriguez, of Falmouth, Mass.

COT: Discussion of football and having hopes for success for everyone except for bama and ohio state.

Q discussed the topic of pride vs humility and encouraged Pax to determine what pride they have and would want to grow in the area of humility. Humility is not running from pride but running to Truth which is Christ our Lord. When we allow Him to be evermore present in our lives, give Him glory and seek his guidance, pride begins to fall and we begin to grow and increase.

Message

We Aren’t Equal

Our founding fathers wrote the “all men are created equal.” I believe they were talking about human rights when they wrote that. Because the fact is, we are not all created equal. As High-Heels has pointed out, with effort, determination, and a willingness to work, we can certainly achieve some success living her in the United States. But we are not created equal. Some were born with more intelligence, some with more athletic ability, some with more money and far greater chances in life. In the United States we have public schools and college grants and funding to try to make sure that all citizens can get a college level education. But let’s face it, college just isn’t going to happen for some – the odds are too stacked against them.

We are not equal. Some just have easier lives than others. So, what do we do with that? We can shake our heads, beat our chests, and blame God for it all. Many do just that, always trying to climb that ladder and reach some kind of equality in terms of power, wealth or recognition. I see many people hurt, jealous, angry or bitter because they just haven’t reached that certain rung in the ladder.

But we have another choice in terms of what to do about this inequality. We can love God and our neighbors. We can do what God would have us do which is to accept the gifts we do have and be thankful for it. We can love others and help them out. This opportunity to love and to give to others is something that everyone can have.

I am not created equal to some. So what? God loves me anyway. God loves me for who I am and isn’t comparing me to the fastest, smartest, or kindness human around. I can keep loving God and I can love my neighbor.

Prayers

Prayers for Drum Major’s daughter, Hunter, who got into an MVA yesterday. Prayers of thanks that she is ok and that the people in the other car are ok. Prayers of love and discernment for Drum Major as he figures out options for another car for Hunter as her car was totaled. Prayers of thanks that the wife of Mr. Jinxy is doing well health-wise and that the health scare she had was not serious.

Push Pull or Drag Sale

THE THANG:
Mosey to the track and field.
Grab the other 4 CMU to take up to the field.
Split into 2 teams. Line up behind the 2 push pull weighted sleds. We stacked 4 CMUs on each fur an estimated 140lbs.
It was not a race, but we treated it like one.
We pushed the sled about 25 yards, then we git extra low so pull it back to the start line. The last 10 yards really suck the air out of you.
The rest of the Pax called out exercises to complete while they waited their turn.
We did 4 rounds and pushed and pulled until we met our threshold.
Next, we took the 8 CMUs and returned them to the CMU pile, but first, we knocked out some extra work.
25 curls
25 chest press
25 heavy squats
25 heavy toe merkins
25 windshield wipers
25 dips
20 lawn mowers

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Health check in. Who needs to get an appointment for their 1 year physical? It’s easy and free. Let’s catch things early on. We are getting old. Let’s continue sharing what works. Supplements. Protein powder. Medications. PT.
Reach out to me if you need a Dr recommendation.
Mental health. More of us are in need of assistance in that area. Tell your primary Dr and they will refer you. Sometimes 1 simple pill makes a big difference. Sometimes you just need to talk.
Love you guys. You are my people. I’m lucky to have this community of brothers.
