Today is a milestone - in the cancer world, we like to celebrate milestones because it means we're still alive.

82 years ago today, nearly 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, launching the liberation of Europe.

We are free because they were brave. 🇺🇸

I’ve been binging, For All Mankind, on Apple TV. It’s so good. And so — that’s what inspired me to find this photo of me and Endeavour.

On this Memorial Day, I remember my fallen shipmate, RM2 Angela Santos.

They’re Army recruiters walking around the ANNAPOLIS mall trying to recruit. I’m walking around behind them telling people to go Navy. In other news, I have way too much time on my hands. #NavyVet

[Donna L. Cole 🦅 @AnnapCreative]

This all came together very quickly. Thank you to Charlie for contacting me and to everyone that took my calls and jumped into action.

BTW, Pat was my boss being that he also owned WNAV which was at that location.

Pat Sajak sold his property on Admiral Drive in Annapolis for $2.2 million down from the asking price of $2.6 million.

The name of the buyer, Admiral Overlook, seems like the name of a housing development.

In other news, there went my park idea.

And it's being used for a good purpose, not nefarious.

Because of family involvement, I founded the Facebook group for The Washington Star alumni/fans/family. Around the DC area, the paper was known as The Star.

I guess it's cool the name continues to live on years after it passed.

@TherapyDogsRock Getting used to a stent in the ureter isn’t a lot of fun. Other than that, hoping to get out tomorrow.

The upside down American flag continues flying at @MDVAHCS & at night too - where it’s not lighted. The POW flag is now atop the American flag. I let VA maintenance and police know about this yesterday. I don’t think either flag started this way. FYI @SarahForMD @RepSarahElfreth

Who is the best transportation reporter in Baltimore?

[Donna L. Cole 🦅 @AnnapCreative]

Special menu today @MDVAHCS for National Vietnam War Veterans Day.

[Donna L. Cole 🦅 @AnnapCreative]

A staff member told me she’s never seen it lowered or raised for months.

[Donna L. Cole 🦅 @AnnapCreative]

Pulley appears to be broken off which would mean there’s no way to lower the messed up flag. A ladder truck or crane would be needed to fix it.

Can you help @SecVetAffairs?
