20th Year 9/11 Memorial

On this 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attack, a handful of non-BRR studs joined YHC for a remembrance Q. Here is how we honored the fallen:

NMS:  This morning we remembered and honored the fallen, and spoke of our country, our freedom, and our responsibility in this fallen world. It starts with us – sacrificing sleep to do the hard thing, to grow stronger together, to lock shields for one another and our communities. YHC is incredibly honored to count myself among the F3 brotherhood, and I hold myself to a higher standard because of it. The following two quotes were shared and discussed in COT. YHC, Tryhard

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”  President Ronald Reagan

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Romans 12:21)
