There is a reason behind HOW I shoot...always. This side of the gym crossfitwaukee has the perfect backdrop for the message I wanted to convey in this image. This veteran, competing in an valor_fit_org heat for #19point4, has a deep respect and devout reverence for the flag. He served this country under those Stars and Stripes. He made sacrifices under those Stars and Stripes. To some it may be just a picture, but to me, a daughter of a Vietnam Veteran and the granddaughter of a World War II veteran, it’s a message for him. It’s a message that I know what he has done for me and for that flag, and that I’m eternally grateful. #honor #respect #appreciation #gratitude #crossfit #veterans #strongertogether #intheopen crossfit crossfitgames
