Dedicated to 1stLt Travis Manion, USMC, the Manion Hero WOD brings veterans, families of the fallen, and inspired civilians together each year to honor Travis’ life and legacy on the anniversary of his sacrifice on April 29th, 2007.
This month’s Tribe workout is in partnership with the Travis Manion Foundation. Their motto, “If not me, then who” is based on Travis’s own words when he was called upon to serve. It’s a simple yet powerful idea. We don’t choose what we are faced with, but we can control how we respond. There isn’t always someone else to help when things go wrong. And sometimes, we’re the only ones who can help someone else.
Travis was known for having a great sense of humor. His sister, Ryan Manion, wrote this moving post in anticipation of his upcoming anniversary. Travis gave his life drawing fire away from his wounded teammates. Today, we pay homage to him by doing this workout together.
