Hero Challenge Week 4 is underway and this week we will be completing our Hero WODs in memory for two New York Fire Fighters, Lieutenant Ronald T. Kerwin of the Levittown Fire Department and Gregory Sikorsky of FDNY Squad 41, both of whom lost their lives valiantly saving countless people during the World Trade Center attack. It is important to remember 343 firefighters lost their lives on September 11th, 2001. We will never forget their bravery and valor.

McHugh, said, "Throughout the history of our young nation, we have seen our military go bravely into battle, armed with courage and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice." Staff Sgt. Povilaitis was no different. Please take the time to read this article honoring him before you complete this week's "Alexander" WOD.
