Ever since doing Shanksville 9/11 Tough in 2019, I wanted to head to NYC for the 20th anniversary 9/11 HTL. Most GORUCK events are themed after very impactful military events, but as a civilian, 9/11 is an event theme that truly hits home. Fortunately, I had a couple people who were also interested in making the trip with me.  Years passed, events happen, COVID happened. In that downtime of the world hibernating from the pandemic, Steel City Ruck Club went outside and worked. When rucking was the only thing to do, I could steadily see our club getting so much stronger. During this time, a huge group of dedicated ruckers also wanted to make 9/11 HTL (now HTB) a goal of theirs.  "The Family",
