We will Ruck 4 miles from the VB Courts, do some sandbag PT on the beach and finish with the plunge (or vice versa; plunge than sandbag workout hehe). Bring a towel and dry clothes to change into. Looking to get a hot coco/coffee station set up! About This Patch:
That’s right, we Americans are willing to cross a frozen river on Christmas to come get you. And yes, it’s time to earn your annual Polar Plunge patch just like our nation’s founders did 250 years ago.
As we embark on America’s 250th anniversary, we think back to that frigid night of December 25, 1776 when General George Washington led ~2,400 Continental Army troops across the icy, storm-swept Delaware River to execute a surprise attack on Hessian forces in Trenton, New Jersey. This daring crossing was a critical maneuver after a series of defeats, intended to boost sagging American morale with a much-needed victory. Despite delays and a blizzard, they successfully reached Trenton, launching an attack that resulted in a decisive American victory with minimal casualties.
Take your ruck crew for a few miles and a dip in cold water to remember the hearty spirit of our forebears.
