Introduction
PREBLAST THE COMPLEX FRIDAY 7/30
Please join YHC for a HERO beatdown that is 77 years in the making. Yes, 77 years!!! We will honor Army Tech Sgt. Arthur W Countryman, whoโs remains were found by a German woodcutter and identified by dental records and DNA by a DOD lab on June 14th, 2021. His remains will be escorted today from Midway Airport to his hometown in Plainfield, IL at noon. If the last name sounds familiar, itโs because he is the great grandfather of Jellystone & Ron Swanson (Fยณ Crossroads).
All proud patriots report to The Complex ITG before 5:15a to honor this fallen soldier. Aye!!!

I was proud and grateful to honor this fallen soldier. What a story and journey for the Countryman family. It was a blessing to have the great grandson, Jellystone (Chris Countryman), of this soldier in attendance. My hope is that this HERO workout is honored at many AOs across this great Nation
