To all my friends and followers:

Over the past weekend, I was unfortunately the victim of a phishing scam and had my account taken from me, where they proceeded to post crypto scans under my name.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

“It was one of the most monumentally unselfish things one group of people did for another.”

-#DDay veteran Andy Rooney on the young 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago.

Required watching for every young person today!

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

This photo was taken on this day at Omaha Beach in 1944 by Robert Sargent. It shows American troops leaving their amphibious boat to head to shore.

With Germans shooting from coastal positions on high, treacherous waves and heavy equipment, almost all of these soldiers died soon after it was taken.

"Into the Jaws Of Death" is the photo that gets me most. These men knew what they were getting into and still did it for our country.

A Dad should be the one man in your life, who wishes you do better than him, and is more happy for you, than you are, when you do.

A new chapter began this week as the Class of #SLUH2030 arrived on campus for Direction Days.

Guided by their senior advisors, our newest students explored campus life, received their academic orientation, heard from inspiring SLUH alumni and school leaders, celebrated their first Mass as a class, and experienced the energy of a spirited StuCo pep rally.

We're excited to welcome these young men to the community and can't wait to see the mark they leave on SLUH.

Detroit Catholic priest Fr. Jean-Baptiste Commins is being hailed as a hero after chasing down and tackling a suspected car thief who had just crashed a stolen vehicle into another car outside the parking lot of his church, injuring a woman with non-life-threatening injuries. He then checked on her to see whether she needed the Anointing of the Sick or a blessing.
