FORGED FRIDAY

Today is Forged Friday at New Species CrossFit.  Last week we exercised our freedom and tested our abilities in order to honor a local Marine hero from Warren, Michigan who lost his life when the UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter he was on crashed near Eglin, Florida, at approximately 8:30 p.m. March 10, 2015.

Today we want to take that same time, effort and dedication to show our true patriotism and respect for another local Hero who perished in that same incident. 

Marine Staff Sgt. Trevor P. Blaylock, 29 years of age from Lake Orion, Michigan. 

Staff Sgt. Blaylock served in the 2d Marine Special Operations Battalion, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.  He was deployed to Operation Enduring Freedom from November 2013 to June 2014 and was promoted to the rank of staff sergeant on June 1, 2014. Staff Sergeant Blaylock’s decorations include: the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with Valor, Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and Combat Action ribbon.

The New Species Coaching Staff would like to give a special thank you to New Species athletes Andrew & Megan Childers. Drew and Megan grew up and attended High School in Lake Orion with the very Hero we are honoring today. 

Please bring your very best effort now. Always support our Troops and God Bless America.
