FORGED FRIDAY

 

Today is Forged Friday at New Species CrossFit. 

An Army Special Forces soldier from Fort Campbell was killed on April 17, 2008 by a burst of small-arms fire while trying to capture an al-Qaeda leader in an Iraq town, the military said.

Staff Sergeant Jason L. Brown, 29, was killed during a combat operation in Sama Village.

Brown, of Magnolia, Texas, was a Special Forces engineer Sergeant assigned to Company B, 3rd Battalion, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) Fort Campbell, KY. 

Staff Sgt. Brown was killed instantly by small-arms fire while attempting to enter a building during an operation to capture an al-Qaeda leader in the village, according to a release from the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

Brown enlisted in the Army in 2003 and was on his second combat tour when he died. 

Please keep this Hero in your heart and on your mind today as you train to be a better athlete and a better more useful American.

Always support our Troops and First Responders and God Bless America!
