For many of you that follow the CFFB on a daily basis will have noticed that in the last few months we have been getting a lot of posts from some of our boys in Afghanistan. They like signing F.K.S after their names and have been featured on the site. CF Football is proud of boys and girls fighting to ensure our freedom and anything we can do to help is just a small token our appreciation.
A few months ago I received an email from the F.K.S. crew asking for a mailing address and a few weeks later I received a folded flag and a certificate of appreciation. The certificate acknowledged the flag was flown in the face of terror and thanking CrossFit Football for our contribution.
On the certificate is a quote by President John F. Kennedy, spoken at his Inaugural Address in 1961. ”Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty.”
That quote struck deep at SoCal Strength & Conditioning and we felt it should make it on a shirt. A clean shirt that would recognize the contribution of our warrior athletes fighting around the world.

Hell yeah, love it. Thank you for sharing this powerful quote and thanks to our men and women at arms. It seems our nation has all too soon forgotten those that have fought for liberty.
Damn straight!

We do not forget, we do not take lightly, the high price of our freedom. As a member of a grateful Nation, that you for your service!
Remember Doug Zembeic – KIA 10May2007 in Bagdad, Iraq. http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/dazembiec.htm
Lead from the front.
Be valorous on the field of battle and take responsibility for your actions.
Never forget those that were killed.
Nice…..thanks for everything!
Love the shirt, and the quote. To all the men and women fighting for our freedom, I would like to send my heart felt gratitude, for all the sacrifices you have made defending our great nation. Pardon my ignorance, what does fks stand for?
Thank you for putting that quote out there, John. Thank you to our men and women fighting for our country around the world!
