This past Saturday, to celebrate America's freedom and honor and remember combat soldiers killed in action, my youngest daughter and I completed the GORUCK Houston Independence Day Light with #CadreDustin, the Houston Rucking Club, Team Red, White & Blue Houston, and awesome #GRT from all over the country. We simulated the American Revolution by carrying two cannons (large logs that required 3 & 4 people to carry), ammunition boxes (25, 60 & 80 pound sandbags that had to be handled with care), by caring for our wounded (one dislocatd knee, a threat or two of heat exhaustion, a stranded civilian on the side of the road; GRT jumped in without question and changed her flat tire), and by enacting Red Coats versus Colonial Militia warfare (water balloons). I don't need to tell you who won... But most importantly, Cadre Dustin, a member of United States Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command with nine combat deployments, shared combat stories and military history that brought us to tears and reminded us of the solemn duty that our U.S. forces throughout history to the present day have embraced on our behalf. Happy Independence Day, America! Never forget our fallen heroes. Embrace our active duty and verteran service men and women; they deserve our total support. ๐บ๐ธ #fitover40 #oldmanstrength #beingweakisdangerous #nuunambassador #nuunbassador #nuunlife #1stPhorm #legionofboom #StayHydrated #GORUCKamerica #GORUCKchallenge #GORUCKLight #GORUCKmasters #embracethesuck #madeintheusa #ruckyeah #ruckclub #GoodLivin #houstonruckingclub #teamrwbhouston (at Houston, Texas)
