The #pb Tweet was late and misrepresentative of the significance and focus of this workout. Since today is the 100th (ONE HUNDRETH) celebration of Veterans Day (the national holiday formerly known as Armistice Day). That said, it was a heavy…..HEAVY weekend down in Ocean Isle, NC, where F3RCUSA tore it up, big time. So, with our paltry seven, we began by paying hommage to the four branchs of our armed services.

Moleskine:
-A little late in getting this #BB out, but better late than never. As such, some of the above excercises (and rep #'s) 'may' not be 100% accurate.
-In short, most of the numbers of reps today were devoted to the below numbers, all significant to Veterans Day, 2019.
-Armistice Day was started in the US on 11/11/19……1919, to celebrate the end of the World War ONE.
-In 1926 the US Congress passed a resolution commemorating the day, and it became a national holiday in 1938.
-1954, Eisenhower singed to change the name to Veterans Day, and a ceremony has been held each year in Arlington Cemetary to commemorate our veterans.
-There are 18 million US veterans today, about 10% female, and about 50% are 65 and over.
-YHC believes he speaks for all in F3RCUSA as we express our sincere appreciation of our RC brethren and all vets that have given of themselves for our country. Thank you kindly.
