COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– The highlight for many on the Fourth of July comes when the sun sets and fireworks light up the sky, but some early risers are using the day as a way to honor those who serve and sacrifice for our freedom.

The Richland County Sheriff’s Department honored the life of Deputy Ryan Rawl with a Memorial Crossfit style Workout on the South Carolina State House grounds.

This is a family friendly event and fundraiser for the Ryan Rawl Scholarship Fund.

Rawl was killed in Afghanistan by a suicide bomber on June 20, 2012. He was also a Richland County Deputy.
