The Moleskin:

  1. Great to be back at #Highlands and be able to catch up with men that I haven’t seen in awhile, but I’ve known for years in the gloom. #F3bonds
  2. Definitely better to do the #Murph in a cadence group and share the counting responsibilities, as well as focus on the names of those we were honoring between sets. #inspiration
  3. As we remember the 19 American heroes who died, we also pray for their families who live everyday with their loss. #neverforget
  4. Prayers also for world leaders and peace. #wealldifferentbutsame
  5. A baby was born unto the world to save us all! #merrychristmas

Ahoy!

  1. Merry Christmas F3!

  2. Well done @Skipper. Thanks for leading us today. That was definitely worth the extra three minute wait. Plus you solved our problem of how to handle the Christmas Day Murph. I enjoyed the additional details on the Operation Red Wings story as well.
