In honor of the 82 anniversary of D-Day, two hard core ruckers (@Sable and Rodeo Clown) launched on an 8.2 mile ruck at 6AM. With 50lb packs, we were off to a good pace and paused on Robious Landing at 6:30 (the time the invasion began) to pay our respects to those who paid the ultimate price that day, and those who made it through. Hat tip to Rodeo Clown’s brother in law’s father who jumped with the 101 Airborne that day. We also honored the 82 Airborne by rucking with both their unit standards (flags). We banked 4 miles in Robiou’s Landing park, then another 4.2 around Tarrington and its river front park. Got to love those hills in Tarrington. Ours was a walk in the park compared to those we honored, their loads were 100lbs+ and they were dodging flack and bullets. Had they not prevailed that day, the world might be very different and far less free today. Please take a moment to remember and honor them today. Let’s honor the past by how we live today.
