Glen Doherty’s CrossFit Hero Workout Bio

I’ll post the full workout soon, here’s what I wrote for his profile.

Former U.S. Navy SEAL Glen Doherty was killed in action September 11^th, 2012 in Benghazi Libya. Glen, also known as “Bub”, was working as a Special Operations contractor in support of U.S. interests in the region. His unit came to the aid of Ambassador Stevens and his staff, as their compound came under heavy attack. Glen’s team fought against overwhelming enemy odds to rescue the Ambassador, and over twenty State Department personnel. After transporting everyone to another compound, his team came under additional enemy rocket and mortar fire. It was here that Glen gave his life in the defense of his fellow Americans. His operational excellence, and aggressive fighting spirit ensured that the remaining team and Department of State personnel were evacuated safely.  Glen’s extraordinary heroism reflected the highest traditions of the United States Special Operations Forces.
