Today on Memorial Day, Sergeant Ballantine and Officer Kowalczyk took on the “Murph” workout in honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

The Murph Challenge is a Memorial Day tradition named after Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy, who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. The workout serves as a powerful tribute to our fallen heroes and all who have served. We are incredibly proud of their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to honoring the meaning behind this day.

A huge thank you to CrossFit New Lenox for once again hosting this amazing event and bringing the community together for such a meaningful cause. Your continued support and commitment to honoring our nation’s heroes is truly appreciated.

Please join us in recognizing Sergeant Ballantine and Officer Kowalczyk for representing the Mokena Police Department with pride this Memorial Day. 🇺🇸🚓❤️🤍💙🦾👏🏻

Let us take a moment to reflect, to remember, and to say thank you. ❤️🤍💙
