There are countless ways to honor the fallen on Memorial Day. Six USFOR-A Soldiers started their Memorial Day morning by performing the Cross Fit workout known as "The Murph" named after the first service member to receive the Medal of Honor for service in Afghanistan, Lt. Michael P. Murphy.
The workout consists of a 1 mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, and another 1 mile run with some of the Soldiers opting to do the whole workout wearing their body armor. All six participants finished the workout under the one hour mark. (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. 1st Class David Wheeler, USFOR-A Public Affairs)
