The HIM’s from every corner of F3RVA came out in FORCE (73 TOTAL!) to celebrate Independence Day with their brothers. Flatline brought an FNG and a solid band of 2.0’s were also in attendance. For today’s WOD the PAX enjoyed Field Day Games instead of burpees. Here’s how these heroes bled Red White Blue and Black for their teams:

- Mosey run around the field and return to circle up at the Stone House

FORM TEAMS:
- Count off 1-2-3-4 around the circle
- x4 Teams gather and have a few minutes to identify their oldest PAX who will be team captain and come up with a team name
- Teams also given team colors (strips of cut DTH t-shirts) to wear as headbands
- Team 1 – “Wrongway RED”
- Team 2 – “WHITE Castle”
- Team 3 – “BLUE Crabs”

NMS: As always brothers, it is one of my deepest honors to be a part of this fine organization and have the opportunity to lead. We truly embody FREEDOM – for ourselves, our brotherhood, our communities, our country, and in our faith. Loved seeing so many PAX from all over RVA, and welcome NIGHTSTAND (Hayden Mulchin) – so nicknamed as he spends a lot of time as a caretaker for his elderly veteran grandfather. Looking back it was cool to see that each team won an event! Great effort everyone!!! Brothers, what we have in F3, truly EVERY man needs in his life, whether he knows it now or not. Be FEARLESS in your invitation to join you in F3, and together we will reach every community in RVA. Happy Independence Day brothers! Yours AYE! ~DTH
