Heroes from Gettysburg to Ukraine to Fort Mill

Leave a comment

In the spirit of MLK, who fought for peace and justice, we tapped the history books to honor another minister from the battlefield. Fr. William Corby served for 3 years during the Civil War as chaplain to the 88th New York Infantry, which was one of the five regiments of the Irish Guard. He was at Gettysburg and a statue there memorializes his blessing of the Union troops on the 2nd day of the battle. His unit originally included 3,000 troops, and started the battle with 500, only to lose 200 to death, wounds or MIA. Fr Corby went on to become the president of the University of Notre Dame 2x later in his life.

WARMUP: SSH, Mtn climbers, Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Carioca, Toy soldiers, Butt kickers, Run, Nur

THE THANG: In honor of Fr Corby and his regiment, we did 88 reps of three exercises as follow:
Round 1: Run lap then do 22 burpees (4 cycles)
Round 2: Run lap then do 22 Squats (4 cycles)
Round 3: Run lap then do 22 Mahktar N’Dyaes (4 cycles)

MARY: Flutters, Freddys, Box cutters, Big boys, LBCs, American Hammers, Planks

ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2DB 10k Jan 28; Murder Bunnies game 3 Wed 7p, Weekend in woods event in Blue Ridge, VA in late Feb
