Wednesday, 22 February

Today we will remember a USMA '09 graduate and a fallen hero.  The one year anniversary of the death of 1LT Daren Hidalgo was on Monday, 20 February.  Several CrossFit boxes in the US did the "Hidalgo" Hero WOD on Monday to honor and remember Daren and his sacrifice for the country.  Check out: http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/008088.html  for the original WOD posted on the mainsite.

U.S. Army First Lieutenant Daren M. Hidalgo, 24, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, assigned to 3rd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, based in Vilseck, Germany, died on February 20, 2011, in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, from wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. Two weeks prior to his death, he was hit by an earlier improvised explosive device. Despite his injuries, he stayed in country and on patrols rather than return home. He is survived by his father Jorge, mother Andrea, brothers Miles and Jared, and sister Carmen.
