“The added benefit of weeks like this is that it gives our people not only more awareness about fami- lies that have been affected by whatever tragedy may happen, but it also lets the community get involved and know that this line of work is hazardous, and some pay the ultimate price,” said Reyes.
After the breakfast the planned activities became more physical in nature.
“Tuesday, we had a K9 memorial ruck, starting from the kennels and around the base,” said Reyes. “We read out all the K9 handers that passed, how they passed and during what operation along with a short remembrance.”
On Wednesday the De- fenders participated in a combat fitness challenge which pitted teams of four against each other in a series of physical exercises, with the week being capped off with a golf tournament on Thursday.
