I wanted to take a moment and thank each and every veteran that has ever served this wonderful country of ours. We have many here at the Gym that have served and they as well as all others deserve our utmost respect and gratitude.
Some people may not realize how much the men and women in uniform sacrifice serving our country and protecting our freedoms. Just spending time away from family is more than anyone should have to bear and others have sacrificed much more. I am not the best wordsmith so I wanted to post a few pics to help us remember what our veterans sacrifice for each and every one of us and their brothers and sisters in arms.
This soldier has obviously sacrificed much.

This soldier is 23 year old Lance Corporal William Kyle Carpenter USMC.
In July 2010, Corporal Carpenter deployed to Marjah, Helmand Province, Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. On November 21, 2010, while joining his team to fight off a Taliban attack in a small village the Marines had nicknamed Shadier between two villages nicknamed Shady and Shadiest, Carpenter suffered severe injuries to his face and right arm from the blast of an enemy hand grenade; after-action reports state that he threw himself in front of the grenade to protect a fellow Marine.
