Our fallen soldiers are remembered in many ways. Often families and supporters of our soldiers aren't aware of the unique commemorations that exist.
A unique memorial that has sprung up is the "hero workout".
Since so many of our soldiers give keen attention to fitness, a core of their friends and associates have begun dedicating "Crossfit" workouts to the fallen. The idea springs from the United States, but a number of fallen Canadian soldiers have workouts named after them.
Crossfit is a growing phenomenon within the military. It is a gruelling and dynamic regime, and makes for incredibly fit and agile individuals. Now, thousands of athletes across North America pay tribute to those who shared a dedication to fitness, but did not return from the fields of battle.
Sgt. James Patrick Mcneil, we will never forget.
