Message from the creator of the workout:
Today, we come together as a community to honor and pay tribute to the lives of three brothers: Jeremy Wise, Ben Wise, and Beau Wise: The Three Wise Men.
After the September 11th attacks on our country, Jeremy joined the Navy and became a SEAL. Ben already in the Army became a member of the legendary Green Berets. Beau followed his brothers and joined the Marine Corps Infantry.
Together they served over 1,600 days in Iraq and Afghanistan. Tragically, a suicide bomber in Afghanistan killed Jeremy on December 30, 2009. Just over two years later, Ben was killed in a firefight in Afghanistan. When Ben’s last requests were examined, he had asked to be buried in his service uniform, next to his brother Jeremy. Beau Wise remains on active duty in the United States Marine Corps.
Memorial Day at the end of May is when we honor those who gave their life in combat—veterans like Jeremy and Ben Wise who gave that “last full measure of devotion.” Today, Veterans Day is the when we honor all who served and continue to serve. Those like Beau who made it home but deal with the legacy of war daily.
Every day in America, between 22 and 50 veterans commit suicide. Before you finish today’s WOD another veteran will have taken his or her own life. That is between 22 and 50 families who receive the agonizing call that their loved on has died not die from “combat”, but from the “peace” that followed.
The Three Wise Men Tribute is a national movement to bring our community together on Veterans Day to honor and stand with those who survived their combat experience. Our efforts today, send a powerful message to our veterans a loving community supports them and raises funds to assisting their transition.
If you haven’t had a chance to sign up, please visit www.threewisementribute.org to register. Registration closes Sunday and your $25 tax-deductible contribution will go to help those we honor. You will also receive the 2015 Three Wise Men Tribute t-shirt.
Today’s WOD is divided into three sections. One in honor of Jeremy, one for Ben, and one for Beau.
As you work through these, think about the struggles and sacrifices of our returning veterans. For them, we all come together on this day.
These warriors fought for our country, now it is our turn to fight for them.

Truth be told – I barely slept because the stupid rain made my joints hurt. But there was no way I was taking a rest day. The men and women of our armed services don’t get to take rest days just because they ache. I’m sure many have aching joints and have to get to work…so I went and did what I had to do for their honor! And it felt good to do so. Always have to fight the emotional factor of these days/WODs – there are so many who didn’t come home or who have been hurt – emotionally and physically by what they have experienced.
Thank you CFRT for giving me a way to show honor to our veterans!
Great work 6 am All Stars – Coach PJ – thanks for making it an atmosphere of gratitude!
God Bless America and those who serve!

Tough WOD to come back to after several weeks of inconsistency and recovery post strongman comp. Thank you to all of our Veterans past present and future for protecting us. Great work CFRT!
Still working at 10:30 pm and will work until I cannot anymore. So, another not-needed rest day for me. I will do mobility as a work break in two 5 minute chunks before midnight- I will need it!
My team had an away game today and the girls did a cheer thanking Veterans, after the game. It put a smile on the face of our ref. who was a Vietnam vet 🙂
I’m very upset I missed today’s WOD….
but I won’t miss posting!
Involuntary rest day
What a great way to honor veterans today. This workout was a blast!

Ben – 2+6 65# jumping
Beau – 1+8 10#
Have an awesome night guys!
I always try to frame the pain of a WOD in some greater perspective. Today- Veterans Day- all I could think about was my family and friends and how lucky I am to have them. We have our veterans to thank for everything we have. We can only imagine what the world might be like without then protecting our lives, freedoms and values. They, on the other hand, know first hand- and they put everything on the line to defend what is right in the world. Every day is Veterans Day in my book, and so was this day.
In honor of Jeremy and Ben and Beau, and with prayers going out to Beau and his wonderful family:
3+2 sqt clean @ 95
1+10 @ 95
2+5 29 sqt jumps instead of wb
as always. Thank you coach Mike. You’ve been a true leader, hero and have opened my eyes to some of the most important issues we face as a nation. Your also just a great coach and friend.
Thank you to all our in-house vets. We are so lucky to have you and know you. You guys are examples Of amazing human brings.
