Imagine going to school and getting casually cooked by former college hoopers/current HS coaches?
Chapin faculty might beat any other school staff in town in hoops 😂
Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.
What happened next honestly caught me off guard.
By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.
For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.
I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.
But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.
After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.
This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.
And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
Showing up to school and good behavior definitely has its perks! My stars are sure enjoying the EOY incentives here in our class from their proud teacher @LChavez_ES 💙💛
Such a fun weekend seeing my nieces play pickup softball TOGETHER this weekend in El Paso. My Eryn played up with big sister @Iyanafierro age group. They both represented and showed the work they’ve been putting in. 🥎 #proudtia
@EastlakeSoftba1 had an amazing year filled with a lot of success as a TEAM and individual awards. I would like to give a big thanks to all of our parents and community who supported our girls, your girls. The Greatest compliment to these girls and to you as parents was shared to me by a parent from V.R. Eaton High School. You ALL have represented not only @EastlakeSoftba1 but the @SocorroISD and that is something you as parents deserve to be recognized for.
Iyana Fierro, Junior, middle infield, 3B, was Selected to District 1-6A 1st Team All-District team. She had 40 Hits with 46 RBI’s and 5 Home Runs. She was walked 17 times and got hit by pitch 9 times, probably because she was a beast at the plate. With one year left Iyana will be a big part of the success the falcons have next season and one Pitchers will have to face again.
