ROBBY
Today we are honoring Robby Ellis, a local hero. Robby was killed in combat in
Afghanistan last month. In the world of CrossFit, Hero WODs have a special place.
When we see the sacrifice of young men from our community like Robby,
the Hero WOD means even more.
Some of our members knew Robby and are close to his family,
but most of us never knew this Hero.
As we work out on the day we celebrate our country's independence,
do so with a thought in your heart about this fine young man.
The stories being shared about Robby are truly inspiring.
From all of us at Natural Selection CrossFit,
"Robby, thank you for your service and sacrifice. You are a Hero.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, fellow servicemen and servicewomen,
and those close to you who are grieving."
