"Tommy Mac"
Sergeant Thomas R. MacPherson
KIA October 12, 2012
Sgt. Thomas R. MacPherson, 26, was killed by enemy forces during a heavy firefight while conducting combat operations in Ghazni Province, Afghanistan. He was leading an assault against an enemy position when he was mortally wounded by small arms fire.

MacPherson was a team leader assigned to Company D, Second Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. He previously served one deployment to Iraq and this was his 4th deployment to Afghanistan.

MacPherson is survived by his wife, Claudia MacPherson, and their son, Brayden, of Tacoma, WA and his parents Troy and Diona MacPherson of Long Beach.  
2 rounds for time:
12 burpees
12 thrusters (115/75) (95/55) (75/35)
12 burpees
12 power snatch (115/75) (95/55) (75/35)
12 burpees
12 push jerks (115/75) (95/55) (75/35)
12 burpees
12 hang squat cleans (115/75) (95/55) (75/35)
12 burpees
12 over head squats (115/75) (95/55) (75/35)


The following statement is from Tommy’s former Platoon Leader…
The whole thing with Tommy is that he embodies everything that’s right about Ranger Battalion. He held the position of Ranger Team Leader which is literally the tip of the spear. He was the consummate, quiet professional—he expected absolutely zero recognition for what he did. He loved his job because he was a born protector. He was perfectly content to carry out his life’s work under the cover of darkness, with his and his comrades’ actions to remain forever under the cloak of shadows. He died doing what he loved; protecting all of us. What stood out about Tommy the most was his maturity beyond his years. I believe it was the fact that he was the older brother of younger siblings, but like another Sgt. said “Tommy wasn’t one of those guys who joined the Army and grew into a man. He joined as a man and grew others.” He left behind his beautiful wife, Claudia MacPherson, and their son, Brayden.

31 HEROES EVENT - 3 AUG 2013


“31 Heroes”


AMRAP 31 minutes (As Many Reps As Possible)
8 Thrusters (155/105#)(135/95)(115/75)
6 Rope Climbs (15 ft. ascent)
11 Box Jumps (30/24″)(24/20")
 

This is a Partner WOD – Partner #1 will perform the work listed above. Partner #2 will run 400m with a sandbag (45/25). Once Partner #2 returns from the run, Partner #1 will grab the sandbag and begin their 400m, while Partner #2 continues work wherever #1 left off.

Score is your total # of reps

This WOD was created specifically to honor the 30 men and one dog that gave their lives for our country on August 6, 2011. It is 31 minutes long—one minute in remembrance of each hero. The rep scheme is 8-6-11—the date of their ultimate sacrifice. Finally, this is a partner WOD. The men who gave their lives were from multiple branches of our military, working together as a team. In the workout you and your team member will constantly be taking the load from each other providing much needed support and relief. We realize that no physical sacrifice made during a workout can come close to the sacrifice our brave heroes made, but we consider this WOD a CrossFitters “moment of silence.” This is how we can honor those that gave all in the name of freedom.
