Introduction
Nothing surprising with this simple but effective beatdown. All the PAX knew what was coming. If by chance anyone was short on a reason Why, well 22 years ago today America was attacked so the PAX could use that as motivation, its IPC (enough said), or on this day 2 years ago YHC found F3 so why not join YHC.

PAX were asked to warmup on their own as we would be starting right at 0515.

Thanks to Octomom for reaching out in advance to see if I need anything for setup, reading the announcements as well as having our 6. TAPs were sent out to all those that continue to deal with the aftermath of 9/11/2001
Naked Man Moleskin
Firstly, thanks to the 5 other MEN that joined YHC and put in the hard work. Love and respect! In the grand scheme, this beatdown was nothing compared to what so many endured 22y years ago on 9/11/2001 and who still deal with it to this day. YHC intended to play a 4-minute sound piece that really spoke to me about that fateful day, but YHC couldn’t get it to work so instead I briefly discussed my experience that day. I recall watching on the news the report of the first crash, then seeing the second crash on TV, and then being told they were evacuating the building I was working in for fear of being a target. I vividly remember riding my motorcycle back home and seeing the smoke only a few miles away at the Pentagon. I will never forget that day. It still chokes me up to think about all the lives that were lost. I will never forget. Here’s the video/audio I was going to play – https://youtu.be/EEogeIIOJzU?si=_5b1Q7U4j0gUOtdd
