Every year, Memorial Day provides us with a chance to reflect and remember the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.  For the past 3 years, Team Red, White and Blue (teamrwb.org) has taken this opportunity to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice by hosting a WOD with Warriors at CrossFit boxes and Functional Fitness gyms across the country

WOD with Warriors is a functional fitness tribute workout held twice a year on Veterans and Memorial Day at gyms all throughout the country. WOD with Warriors supports Team Red, White and Blue, whose mission is to

enrich the lives of America’s veterans by connecting them to their communities through physical and social activity. (www.teamrwb.org)

1-To help people remember and observe Memorial Day in a respectful, reflecting, meaningful way.

2-To provide an opportunity for veterans to connect to members of their community through functional fitness.

A 21 Gun Salute is the Nation’s highest display of honor, appropriately reserved for our Fallen troops on Memorial Day. Our WOD intends to replicate this, to honor our Nation’s Warriors, past, present, and future. The 21 minutes of work and 21 repetitions signify a 21-gun salute. The 5 exercises are one for each Branch of the Military.
