Dear Athletic Director and Coaches,

The US Navy SEALs have been blessed with much, so much is expected from us.

We are in Minneapolis to issue a fitness challenge, (the Navy SEAL Trident Challenge) to Men and Women 13 and over. The challenge is comprised of 5 events. Swimming, push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups and a run. Complete details can be found at www.tridentchallenge.com the challenge will be held this Sunday, 10 Dec at the U of M)

The purpose of the event is fourfold. 1. The pursuit of excellence 2. Promoting physical fitness 3. Providing youth a challenge 4. Promoting athletics

The Minnesota Navy SEAL Trident Challenge is a pilot program. We envision this challenge as a National event similar to the Presidential Physical Fitness Campaign. The ideal endstate is to have everyone enrolled in Junior Highs, High Schools and Colleges in the Nation to take this fitness test in the spirit of the purposes listed above.

This National concept is all starting in Minnesota.

If the people of the most fit state in the Union (That's Minnesota) show up to do this Challenge, they will be responsible for launching a project that is not only good for Minnesota but good for the rest of the United States. Americans are getting bigger and teaching our youth about making fitness a priority in life is an investment in the future. Vince Lombardi said it best about challenge, "The challenge in life is to strive for perfection. In the persuit of perfection we may never be perfect but we can catch excellence."

The US Navy SEALs are calling out to Minnesota and its youth to accept The Navy SEAL Trident challenge, and to take its place in history as the one state that helped launch one of the greatest fitness campaigns of all time.

I'm asking the people of Minnesota to show up en masse to endorse this event. Again the Navy SEAL Trident Challenge is being held this Sunday, 10 December, at the University of Minnesota. Deatails and registration instructions can be found at www.tridentchallenge.com

God Bless America, and God Bless Minnesota
