Nicholas Birkner with the US Army Able Company, 3-509 Infantry Battalion and of Fairview Heights, Illinois works out in the gym at Combat Outpost (COP) Zerak on January 21, 2010 in Zerak, Afghanistan.
Our soldiers stay strong and fit using PVC piping on a dirt floor. They do this for us! As we walk through our daily life and happen upon a Service Member in uniform...truly we have no idea where they have been or what they have seen or what they have done. Each and every American Soldier deserves our thanks and constant prayers. They are U.S. Soldiers. They are our warriors!
May Almighty God protect each and every Airman, Soldier, Sailor and Marine.

At the camps in Bosnia we had some really great gyms. Better that some in the US.
In iraq, if you were near Baghdad, we had all kinds of good gyms and stuff...
but when I was at Camp Gannon-- on the Syrian border, there wasn't even running water most of the time.
the gym the Marines made used large cans filled with sand for weights...the tow bars from humvees were curling bars,
for pull up, the nailed boards to a blown up doorway...
and for cardio...we just wore our 35 LBs of body armor all the time...
dang I almost miss that...(just kidding)
Thank you SO MUCH CI-Roller Dude for your sacrifices and your service!!!!
Thank you SO MUCH Airman Mom for bringing attention to the hardships and sacrifices our Soldier's go through for us ;)
