Really cool way to honor him.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Thanks for posting Bob. Every time I see that sign I have to laugh a little. This is the second gym named after Aaron and I am fairly positive that Aaron never willing stepped into a gym in his life :chuckle:

Lol, it's obvious that the outdoors was his gym...and yours, too. :tup:

Outstanding!
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Never met him, but as for his sacrifice I am forever grateful!

Semiper Fi!
Amen

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
