Veteran’s Day A51 Convergence at Anvil
Freedom lies in being bold–Robert Frost
100 men exercised the freedom afforded to them by the bold veterans of our great country by gathering at Anvil for an F3 workout. Thank you to Squid, Radar, 777, and Apache, for your service. Pre-work included a run Q’d by Mr. Bean, a group of ruckers, and 11’s Q’d by Snowflake. The group came together and did the following:
Short mosey to circle up for COP
SSH x 10 IC
Merkin x 15 IC

T-claps to Frasier for rallying the site-Q’s to get the planning started. T-claps to our workout QIC’s and our pre-work QIC’s. Most importantly, T-claps to our veterans in attendance. If YHC missed a name above, please accept my apology and sound off below. T-claps to Hops for our takeout prayer.
A convergence is a special F3 workout. It was the 9/11/2013 convergence at this very site that set the F3 hook deep in YHC. Great work today men. It was awesome.

9/11/13 was my first ever F3 workout, so convergences hold a special importance to me and I try not to miss any. Today was the largest I have ever seen and a great way to show how much we all owe to those who have served or are serving to protect our freedoms. Seek one out today and say thank you. It’s the least we can do.
Thanks to all the men of F3 who organized and led this morning. The pain I will feel all day will be a constant reminder of this special day.
It was a privilege to be a part of the 100 pax at Anvil this morning. It’s mornings like these that remind me what a special thing we have with F3.
Grateful for the freedom that is ours because of sacrifice.
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
On behalf of @USMC & @F3theFort we/I appreciate the invite to attend #VeteransDay2015 convergence.
This morning was awesome, and I want to thank my friends in Area51 for the invite, but especially Rock Thrill who locked down the EH.
T-Claps to the #clowncar of Package, Jekyll, Assassin, & Apache (Go Army)
Thank a veteran today, it means more than you will ever know.
AYE!
