NMM:
Thank yall for posting to at our 4th 9/11 Convergence. I am going on record to note my early AM snarkiness and that I will work on curbing it in the future. Sanctions, we can sound off in the gloom next time we are in mixed company. I snapped “No” but it would have made sense.
The fact that some PAX posted sans Ruck sack was fantastic and also a testament to my needing to work on clarity of communication if a Ruck was to be required. Make note, from here forward the 9/11 Convergence will be Ruck and Non Ruck friendly.
Grateful for yall and for your patience w YHC.
Love the Partnering up aspect (another area where YHC could have been a bit more cordial) of Qs as it’s a great way to push/be pushed and builds in some 2ndF to boot.
Lots of grinding put in this am and lots of positivity, something we could all use more of, dare I say.
I am sure we all remember where we were on 11 September 2001 and still remember how we felt as that morning unfolded. Regardless of your thoughts on the ongoing War on Terror and the side of the aisle you lean towards, you must admit the unbelievable feeling of unity and oneness in our country if only for a few short weeks. I liken that unity to what F3 has brought into my life and I hope yours, a group of men from different backgrounds, different socioeconomic views, political bents and faith stories coming together in the Gloom to get better.
Today we honored the 2,977 men and women killed on that fateful day, a day we will never forget and a day I hope we can continue to Memorialize not just on its anniversary but throughout the year as lives are lost to meaningless hate and violence.
BH:
Hit up Deck the Hollis and check out slack for info on his exploration of faith that he will be leading beginning 26 Sept.
Prayers up for Boones, for Ludwig, for my biz partner’s wife, for my friend Gibson’s dad-Pops, for Ocho Cinco’s dad & for all the unspokens.
See yall at Stonewall if not sooner.
YHC,
