Today we honored Sgt. Zachary D. Tellier, 31, of Charlotte was a combat infantryman with the 4th Squadron, 73rd Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, at Fort Bragg. He died Sept. 29, 2007 of wounds sustained while on a ground patrol in Afghanistan.

The previous April, Tellier’s unit was conducting a mounted patrol when one of its vehicles drove over and detonated a bomb, which set the vehicle on fire, according to a statement from the 82nd Airborne.

Tellier pulled two paratroopers out of the vehicle to safety, suffering severe burns to his hands. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with valor for his actions.

After he was burned, Tellier jumped up in the turret to return fire, said Sgt. Michael Layton, a member of Tellier’s unit. A lieutenant made Tellier get out of the vehicle because of his injuries, Layton said.

“Zachary Tellier has to be the biggest hero I’ve ever known or heard of, not just because of what he did, but because of his personality,” Layton said. “He came in the Army because he wanted to be around soldiers and serve his country, and he paid the ultimate sacrifice.”

Tellier is survived by his wife, Sara Tellier of Atlanta, Ga.; his father, David W. Tellier of Groton, Mass.; and his mother, Pamela Rodriguez, of Falmouth, Mass.

Thank you for the opportunity to lead you men this morning.

God Bless,

Hot and humid but a little bit of rain at beginning to cool us off.  Wolverine of the current 4:13 strong class stepped up to VQ with YHC.

Pax: Wolverine co-vq, Porcelain co-q, red skull, bagger Vance, PA, casual friday(FNG), kingpin aka snoopy(lifo?), reveille, toga, skid mark, pop-a-lock, sinestro, night crawler, venom, killmonger, hot and ready, vegemite, umbrella, donuts, dilly dilly

Warmarama: Wolverine led us off with a swift mosey down and up the stairs then to the softball field.  Disclaimer administered by Porcelain.  Wolverine cycled us through good mornings, merkins, squats, and a final round of good mornings.

The thang: Wolverine took charge in setting up the first exercise by calling for everyone to buddy up.  Set up a Dora variation with partner sprints to the outfield fence and back to the dugout bench where the exercises were 100 merkins, 100 step-ups (both legs = one rep, and 100 sit-ups.

Porcelain picked up a mosey back back to the basketball courts then established a last man up Indian run out and back.  It was a setup for log training.  Broke into a short and tall groups with 4:13 pax in charge.  Demonstrated lift with tall team on the first log aka telephone pole.  The team managed to get up to hip simply enough but struggled with 10 pax to shoulder so YHC called the short team on the log as well and repeated 8 reps of shoulder to overhead as a full workout before carefully crushing but not breaking toes on the down.  Foregoing further pain on the log for safety’s sake.

YHC set up 11’s on the basketball court with 10 burpees on the far end followed by 1 jump squat on the near end and continuing OYO.  Called 11’s short around 2/3’s through to keep time for Mary as I wanted to give more of the 4:13 pax time to lead.

Mary: Around the circle for 20 reps of abs decided on and cadence called by the 4:13 pax.  Wolverine led off with sit-ups.  Peter Parker’s were called by night crawler.  We all were feeling a little fog of war at that point so all was well with Venom finishing it off with squats.

Welcome Ed aka Casual Friday that is helping out our brothers in the evenings with a support group.

A little tailgate coffeeteria was had with PA, toga, red skull, pop-a-lock, venom, Wolverine, skid mark, vegemite, umbrella, and porcelain.

Reveille on Q next week for the last stronghold workout before this class graduates to take on different jobs around town many involving construction.  Come by to give them a great send off.  If you have never been in on a Reveille workout get ready for some pain.
