Push Ups For Freedom
Note the unorthodox hand position in photo number 4.
Forget fingertip pushups, try Peace Sign pushups.
Last photo: "Special tactics Airmen and family members of fallen special tactics warriors join in memorial pushups during the dedication of the Crate Special Tactics Advanced Skills Training Center at Hurlburt Field, Fla., May 30, 2007"
