We are a nation of heroes.

[Kurt Schlichter @KurtSchlichter]

Today, remember that Americans are, by nature, heroes.

They run into burning, collapsing buildings.

They stay behind to help others escape.

They rush terrorist hijackers knowing it means near certain eath.

And they go to war to annihilate the semi-human savages who dare put their pagan paws on our countrymen.

This is a nation of heroes.

Never forget it.

And never let any traitors, losers or cowards tell you any differnet.

This is a day to remember, but also to celebrate the greatest people in the history of mankind. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

For five years I sat in an office every Sunday while people came in to confess the worst things they'd done. I was barely 30.

I served as a bishop in my church, leading a congregation of about 500 people. Part of that role is what we call being a common judge, which is where the confessions came in.

Early on I would leave the lights off, lock the door, and kneel in the dark, praying. How could I possibly judge these people, with so many of them being more than twice my age?

Then one morning I caught sight of a picture of Christ on the wall, and it occurred to me that he would not have been judging any of them. He would have just listened, and pointed them toward healing.

So I flipped the lights on and changed my title. Instead of judge, I decided I was a repentance coach. I had never heard another bishop call himself that, but it felt right.

What I saw over those five years changed how I see people permanently. A wealthy businessman and a struggling single mother would come in on the same afternoon carrying roughly the same wound.

It shocked me how many quiet crises people carry. Unimaginable amounts of guilt, regret, and sorrow.

I would come home in emotional shock, and my wife would hold me while I tried to process it all.

But I’m grateful for that soul-stretching experience. It taught me about how important compassion is, and why we shouldn’t make assumptions.

Whoever you’re mad or annoyed at today - cut them a break. They likely need it worse than you know.

When Fukushima exploded, foreign embassies told everyone to FLEE.
Commercial planes turned around. Ships steered away as fast as they could.
An invisible radiation cloud was drifting across the ocean.

And where was the USS Ronald Reagan?

STEERING DIRECTLY INTO IT.
AT MAXIMUM SPEED.

The radiation alarms were screaming on the bridge.
Every textbook said: "Turn back. Save yourselves."

The Captain and his crew said:
"There are Japanese families shivering on rooftops out there. WE DON'T TURN BACK."

24 hours a day, in freezing sleet, they ran their desalination plants to the brink of failure.
Sailors gave up their OWN fresh water.
They stopped taking hot showers.
They ate cold rations.

Why?
To produce tens of thousands of gallons of pure, uncontaminated drinking water for Japanese babies.

Mechanics with radiation badges worked through the night on snow-covered decks so helicopters could fly non-stop rescue sorties.

While the world backed away in terror,
American sailors ran through the fire for us.

Never tell me true heroes don't wear dog tags. 🇺🇸🔥🇯🇵

Before he was Kylo Ren in Star Wars, Adam Driver served as a US Marine.

He enlisted after 9/11 and served with Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 1st Marines at Camp Pendleton as an 81mm mortarman. While preparing for an upcoming deployment to Iraq, a mountain biking accident fractured his sternum, and a ruck march made it worse. He was medically discharged in 2004 after 2 years and 8 months. He said later that it took a long time for him to get over not deploying with his Marines.

His service still shaped everything that came next. He attended Juilliard using his GI Bill, and later founded Arts in the Armed Forces to bring serious theater to troops.

He has said that being a Marine is one of the things he's most proud of in his life.

For 79 years, our Airmen have courageously answered the call to serve here at home and abroad—always aiming high and making our country proud.

Grateful is an understatement.

Happy Birthday, @USAirForce! 🇺🇸

If the proper protocols for replay weren’t followed then the FBS Oversight committee should overturn the result of the game and make Western Michigan the winner of the game against Michigan.

Period. End of Story.

Saying “hey they got it wrong, but we won’t fix it” only makes it worse and is a slap in the face to the fans of football everywhere.
