Workout

“Justice”
Staff Sergeant James Justice, 32, of Grimes, Iowa, was killed April 23, 2011. James volunteered for duty in Afghanistan in early 2011 to be with his unit because he loved his country and felt that is where he should be. After completing a routine security patrol at Bagram Air Field in Afghanistan, word was received of a downed OH-58 Kiowa helicopter in the neighboring Kapisa province north east of Kabul. James and some of his fellow soldiers from the Iowa Army National Guard’s Alpha Troop 1st Squadron 113th Cavalry boarded a UH 60 Black Hawk helicopter to rescue the two man crew of the downed helicopter. After their craft landed the group came under small arms fire. James was killed at the site. He is survived by his wife Amanda and three-year-old daughter Caydence, and parents Larry and Lillian Justice.

Awesome!!! Can’t wait!
Ditto.. it’s my weekend off too:)
Can anyone do this? Even a non-member of 515? Cuz if so I will post on my FB wall and try to rustle some LEO’s and military friends too.
Yep! Open to anyone and everyone. Post away!
Aw, poop. We have an away bout in the Quad Cities that day. I was so hoping to have a little bit more time before I had to subject you guys to the ‘I’m sorry, I have derby’ excuse T_T
Wait, no – working OT instead, but still bummed to miss things. That’ll learn me to check my dance card.
