“THINK NOT ONLY UPON THEIR PASSING. REMEMBER THE GLORY OF THEIR SPIRIT.” — Omaha Beach, Normandy
June 6, 1944—D-Day. The largest amphibious invasion in history. Allied forces stormed Normandy to break tyranny and change the world, at tremendous cost.
In the hours before dawn, the 82nd Airborne Division parachuted in behind enemy lines, securing key objectives and fighting for 33 days without relief. Their courage and sacrifice helped ensure the success of the invasion.
In 2026, GORUCK returns to Normandy for the82nd Anniversary of D-Day. We ruck the beaches, hedgerows, and Pointe du Hoc. We carry weight. We honor sacrifice. We remember why freedom isn’t free.
We Give Back for Every Sale As an American business with Special Forces roots, we at GORUCK are proud to donate 1% of our annual top line revenue to various non-profit partners who support those who serve — this means military, Veterans, First Responders (LEO, Fire), teachers, social workers, and communities such as military spouses.

EVENT CADRE: CADRE DAN
Jason McCarthy handed Dan his first GR1 in February of 2011 full of bricks wrapped in a towel. Since then Dan has been pounding pavement and building better Americans as Cadre for GORUCK. Every once in a while, he comes up with a half decent idea that GORUCK uses to keep Dan happy. Fueled by Copenhagen, Coffee and pure aggression (staples in 3rd SFG) Dan loves storytime during events and doing anything outside.
