CAMP BUEHRING, Kuwait - When you step into the 1st Squadron, 180th Cavalry Regiment conference room in Kuwait, proudly displayed on the wall are the photos of fallen soldiers of the 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team who have died serving their country in Afghanistan this year.
Among them is Sgt. Bret Isenhower, formerly of C Troop, 1st Squadron, 180th Cavalry Regiment who was killed in action Sept. 9. After much deliberation, it was decided that the best way for C Troop to honor him would be with a hero's workout.
The CrossFit Hero Workout Of the Day is a grueling workout dedicated to Isenhower, consisting of as many reps as possible of 9 hang squat cleans, 9 shoulder to overhead presses and 11 box jumps for 26 straight minutes. This WOD was designed and led by C Troop's 1st Platoon Sergeant, Sgt. 1st Class Fincham.
Among those who attended were Command Sgt. Maj. Miller, and Isenhower's former Troop and squadron commanders, Capt. Mark Caudillo and Lt Col. Chomosh.
"Isenhower would of appreciated the work out, he was always pushing his fellow soldiers to stay fit,” said Staff Sgt. Harrison, Isenhower's former team leader. “Going into this deployment I knew there was a chance that some of us wouldn't come back, you just never expect that it would be someone you knew- that you served with.”
Isenhower led a life dedicated to the service of the nation and his community, serving as a volunteer firefighter with the Seminole Fire Department and as a 911 dispatcher for Seminole County. Isenhower is remembered by those who knew him as a great man and a true American hero, who touched the lives of so many with his dedication to helping others.
