Please support your brothers & sisters at Fort Hood
A big "thank you" to those who have already donated!
Please support this very worthy cause if you have not done so already.
In addition to losing some of America's finest soldiers, 4 of those killed and 11 of those wounded were CrossFit athletes.
Surely you can help at least with a few bucks, right?
You donate now at the top right side of this page.
Thank you for your generosity!

A Marine Corps hero goes home
Wed Oct 14, 8:29 pm ET
PRESCOTT, Ariz. – Willard Varnell Oliver, a member of the Navajo Code Talkers who confounded the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in their native language, died Wednesday. He was 88.
Lawrence Oliver said his father died at the Northern Arizona Veterans Administration Health Care System Hospital in Prescott, Ariz. He had been declining health for the past two years.
Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley Jr. ordered flags on the Navajo Nation to be flown at half-staff from Oct. 15-19 in honor of Oliver, who is at least the fifth Code Talker to die since May.
Oliver was part of an elite group of Navajo Marines who confused the Japanese during World War II by transmitting messages in Navajo.
The Code Talkers took part in every assault the Marines conducted in the Pacific from 1942 to 1945. Their work was declassified in 1968.
Oliver, who grew up between Shiprock and Farmington, N.M., served in the South Pacific with the 2nd Marine Division from 1943 to 1945. He was wounded during the battle of Saipan of 1944.
Oliver's brother, Lloyd Oliver, was also a member of the elite group.
His funeral is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday in his hometown of Lukachukai.

Happy New Year!
Okay, it's 2009.
New Years resolutions are useless, so what are you serious athletes going to do improve your overall fitness this year?
Do you have real goals (like I said, not some lame resolution)?
Please post your comments

We were honored to have several military CFers here in the last few weeks
You gotta love this t-shirt from CrossFit West Virginia!
Nothing quite like military humor :)
