9/11

9/11

"These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed. Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation."
— President George W. Bush

The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, changed America and the lives of Americans forever. Our Cadre conduct 9/11 Commemorative events around the country to honor and remember those we lost: the courageous First Responders and the soldiers who fought in the Global War on Terrorism. Cadre and all willing participants will share their 9/11 story: where were you, how did it change your life? Never Forget.

4-5 HOURS, 7-10 MILES. LIGHT = FUN ON A TEAM. AVERAGE COMPLETION RATE: 100%

Daniel

Army Special Forces

Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines, Asia, South America

 

An Army brat, Danny grew up moving all around America and the world. He has served over 23 years, and loves to play soccer, climb mountains, and workout. He has biked across the greatest country in the history of the planet, the USA, and continues to ride his bike every day to work. He is the father of four amazing and rowdy kids, so GORUCK participants are no match for him. He will one day disappear into the breathtaking beauty of a Thai sunset or slide off-the-grid into a wild west location like Chiapas, Mexico.
