MURPH POTLUCK BBQ
Be sure to hang out after your “Murph” and have a beverage and some BBQ. We’ll be grilling hamburgers for everyone. And, we’ll have room on the grill if you’d like to bring your own meat. There’s no cost, just bring a side dish or dessert to share!
In memory of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, N.Y., who was killed in Afghanistan June 28th, 2005. This workout was one of Mike’s favorites and he’d named it “Body Armor”. From here on it will be referred to as “Murph” in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is. Please read more about Lt. Micheal P. Murphy here.
