Sometimes you just have to ride a big wheel in a combat operation. That’s exactly what Josh Jespersen did one late evening in Baghdad, Iraq as a Navy SEAL. His former and currently retired platoon chief just learned of this speed racing adventure a couple of weeks ago, so Warrior Mindset podcast needed to get the full story.  Josh Jespersen holds the world record for climbing AND snowboarding down all 54 of Colorado's 14 thousand foot mountains in only 138 days! Jespersen is the founder of Mission Memorial Day. In their continuing mission to return Memorial Day to its original meaning, they have carried the names of the fallen on the flags to the top of Denali, the tallest peak in North America, and five other peaks. This year the team proudly marched the flags along the original Bataan Death March route in the Philippines to pay tribute to the WWII veterans who gave their lives for our freedom on Memorial Day. They recreated the Bataan Death March by marching the 66 miles that the 76,000 prisoners of war had to endure under extreme conditions 75 years ago. They ate half military rations, drank limited amounts of water, and slept on the ground. --------------------------- Thanks to StrikeForce Energy This is a small energy filled packet.
