CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. – U.S. Marines, Sailors, and civilians of Marine Forces Special Operations Command conducted an honor workout at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, July 3, 2024.
The workout served to honor and remember the six MARSOC Marines and Sailor who lost their lives when a Marine Corps KC-130T crashed in Mississippi, July 10, 2017. The crash also claimed the lives nine Marines from Marine Aerial Refueler Squadron 452.
Throughout the workout, participants would pause and gather together to listen to the biographies of the fallen at each of seven stations, one for each fallen member of MARSOC, before executing the exercises. Then, after completion of all seven stations, the participants gathered to reflect on the fallen.
“Today was about coming together,” said Thomas Reinhard, a strength and conditioning specialist at MARSOC. “Coming together, [training] together, and remembering the ones we’ve lost.”
Honor workouts are common throughout the Marine Corps and serve as an important link to the past. Units will often come together in remembrance of the Marines and Sailors that have given their lives in service, both out of respect and to serve as an inspiration of gallantry and heroism.
“This is the standard for MARSOC,” said Maj. Gen. Peter Huntley, MARSOC commander. “We came out here and it was challenging, it was fun, and it gave us the chance to honor those that gave all.”
