CrossFit PPG – CrossFit
Today marks the 20th anniversary of the worst terrorist attack on US soil in which thousands of our fellow Americans perished. Over the last 20 years in coordinated efforts, we have continued to lose American warriors (many of who we pay tribute to in workouts within these very walls) in the Global fight against terrorism.
CrossFit PPG customarily participates in our 9/11 tribute wod on this day but based on recent events, we would like to both pay our respects to first lives lost on September 11, 2001 and the last lives lost on August 26, 2021.
Today, we choose to pay respect and honor those lost on 9-11 and the ‘Kabul 13’.
