👀👇An interesting 1940 book ("Brainwashed into Slavery") on Psychopolitical Warfare as means to bring about communism. Worth a read. #LearnHistory #WhatsReallyBehindtheCancelCulture #TheMoreYouKnow

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.

5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.

Then he turned around and went back in.

A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.

But he didn't stop there.

He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.

He did this for hours without stopping.

His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.

He survived the war.

His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.

5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.

Remember him.

Noor Inayat Khan, the British Indian SOE agent and the first female wireless operator sent into Nazi-occupied France, was betrayed, tortured for months, and executed at Dachau in 1944.

She gave away no secrets despite brutal interrogation and was posthumously awarded the George Cross for her outstanding courage.

101-year-old World War II veteran Don Graves — the last surviving flamethrower operator from his battalion, which fought on Iwo Jima — sings “God Bless America” at the National Memorial Day Parade.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

[Battleship New Jersey @BattleshipNJ]

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our nation.

Memorial Day is more than the unofficial start of summer. It is a solemn reminder that our freedoms have been defended by generations of Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice.

From the decks of Battleship New Jersey, we honor their courage, their service, and their memory.

May we never forget. 🇺🇸

Remembering our visit and all the young and brave Americans who gave their lives liberating Italy and Europe at the Sicily-Rome American Cemetery and Memorial in Nettuno. #WWII 🇺🇸

[American Merchant Marine Veterans, Inc. (AMMV) @AMMWWII]

All gave some, some gave all. On this #MemorialDay2026, we remember and pay tribute to those who gave all, including the estimated 8,421 merchant mariners who lost their lives in WWII. Some sources have that number much higher, #Freedom #sacrifice #Honor #USA #InPeaceAndWar #MerchantMarine #WeDeliver #mariner #WW2 #WWII #Arlington

During the closing days of 1944, editors at the London edition of Stars and Stripes decided to select a frontline GI as "Our Man of the Year."

This was American tanker Sgt. John Parks, 4th Armored Division, whose face show no glorious propaganda smile, but the reality of war. Parks was killed in December 1944 during the Battle of the Bulge. He was shot from his hatch, fell into his tank which went up in flames from enemy fire. Nothing left but ashes.

[Battleship New Jersey @BattleshipNJ]

Battleship New Jersey has been a museum and memorial since 2001. Before that, she served in World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, and through the 1980s.

Our mission is to restore, preserve, and exhibit her continuing history — so that the service of everyone who worked and sailed on her will educate and inspire generations to come.

Come take a tour and experience her story for yourself.

@ColonelTowner @drawandstrike 1995ish Tampa newspaper published an article about Nancy. Clearly stated that she was "the bag" girl for her uncle.
My dad, an NYC detective in the Organized Crime Unit read it, never forgot it. Its wiped now.

We are saddened to hear of the passing of WWII Veteran Mildred Cox, of Quincy, MA and Marco Island, FL, on April 22, 2026. She was 102.

Millie was one of the first women to join the U.S. Marine Corps when she enlisted at the age of 20. She served as a stenographer.

After being discharged in 1946, she dedicated herself to her community in Quincy, serving in key roles like Head Clerk of Veterans Services. She was twice honored as the Master of Ceremonies for Quincy's Memorial Day parades-a true testament to her impact and respect in the community.

A proud life member of the Marine Corps League and the Women Marines Association, and a member of Cyril P.
Morrisette Post 294, Millie also made history as the first woman Marine of WWII to sign The Rifle, a book preserving the stories of "The Greatest Generation."

She was married to her husband, William Cox, also a WWIl Veteran, for 70 years until his passing in 2017.

Rest in peace, Millie! We thank you for your service! 🙏
