Veterans Day
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary cessation of hostilities, was declared between the Allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.” Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veterans Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.
We recognize this holiday today (Friday) but the official day is Saturday. But today, tomorrow or ANY day…let’s recognize all American servicemen and servicewomen and especially thank our MANY Cove athletes who have served (and are currently serving) this country. We are forever grateful for what you do.
As a gym we will be doing Chad and Nate as a partner wod. A number of our athletes did Chad a couple of weeks ago and this is a workout about mental fortitude. Remember the “why” behind this today. We’re focusing on honoring and supporting the veteran community and specifically those who suffer from silent diseases of PTSD and other mental health disorders.
