The Thang: TORRENCE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Hero WOD in honor of CPL Joshua Torrence<\/strong>, KIA in Iraq (2005). Today, we honored my cousin and friend Lance Cpl. Joshua L. Torrence. He was always mischievous and always fun. I was fortunate enough to have him a a close friend until he moved away to South Carolina when we were 8. After High School he joined the Marines and made the ultimate sacrifice for his country in 2005. Josh\u2019s commitment to duty and his bravery serve as inspiration for us to always push beyond what we think is possible. This one is for you, Josh.<\/span><\/p>\n
