Drop Roll, Let's Roll

September 11, 2002:

Fitness is power. That was one of my first thoughts the morning of last Sept. 11. My first physical action was to mount my flag by 7:30 a.m. as a symbol of unity. My second physical action was to speak out about our fitness state of readiness in this country.

The fittest survive. When you are not fit and strong, other stronger people take what they want and you are powerless. America has become too unfit and too overweight to sustain a major long-term defense effort.

We can't just rely on our elite defense forces to do all the work. It takes fit and strong people at home. We are in a fitness and health state of emergency. Get off the couch. Get Fit. Be Strong. Let's Roll!
