This year, due to multiplicitous starfish expansion among the F3Raleigh ranks, two convergence sites for the fourth of July. For YHC, it’s been a year in the ranks. All three Fs in the sun, rain, snow, darkness and ice have delivered a greater strength of body, mind, spirit and brotherhood. #grateful
While the PAX further south gathered at LateNight to suffer at the hands of Yo-Yo, the men of F3 North Raleigh converged to ignite the fireworks at the Juggernaut site at the hands of YHC. Time to run through walls. Time to pay the price. Time to have some fun. Here’s how the celebration went off.

Fireworks: 100 Burpees (brought to you by our friends at True Grit)
Done.
Moleskin: Tclaps to #wardaddy Tooth Fairy and to Tecumseh for pushing on into extra innings on the burpees. Monstrous efforts from Bob Ross, Rouge and DialTone. Tclaps to all the PAX for giving it everything. Good to have FNG Husker in the ranks. Welcome, brother.
COT: YHC shared that the freedom we enjoy in the US is unique in the world. Many places in the world are much more closed and difficult places to live. That being said, the greatest freedom is the freedom that comes with the forgiveness and love of God. Every person made in God’s image who lives in any nation can know this highest and best freedom. And it leads us to love those around us with the same unconditional love that God has first shown us. Aye.
