Once again, the men of Shawshank did not disappoint. By the time the convoy stopped, there stood 27 men with their game faces on, ready to bring it. After a quick disclaimer and prayer, they rolled out to the COP. From that point forward they reminded YHC of why these grounds and these men hold such a special place in his heart. The words “tenacious”, “determined” and “selfless” come to mind. These men left everything out there, and when they had nothing left, their brothers were right there to pick them up or push them the last 5 yards. To me, THAT’S what it’s all about! ***Special thanks to Pajanimal for making the trip over to check in on Shawshank. YHC hopes it was worth his time.***

As stated previously, YHC is honored and proud to call the men of Shawshank his brothers. YHC assumes that other AO’s feel the same about their own. If that’s the case then each one of you know at least a few #SadClowns that NEED to have what we have in their lives. YHC encourages each of you to look at yourself when you first started this “thang”, and then look at yourself now. Are you better? In what ways are you better? My guess is you like what you’re becoming. You can thank your brothers for being a big part of that change. YHC couldn’t be more grateful.
