Thank you @AttorneyCrump for sharing my story on Tyre Nichols.

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

At a candlelight vigil in his native Sacramento, Tyre Nichols’ brother Jamal said it best: “Tyre wouldn’t stop until justice was served.” Neither will we. His family is surrounded by a strong community of supporters who will not stop fighting. Love, light, and justice for Tyre.

It’s go time in the race for Stockton mayor — Tom Patti is phone banking to try and win over any last minute undecided voters before polls close at 8pm. Patti expects a tight race — he beat his opponent Christina Fugazi in the primary election by about 3,500 votes. @CBSSacramento

What Hope can do: Part 2 @CBSSacramento

Right now, Nick Hope and his son George are back at Dachau concentration camp in Germany at an annual ceremony commemorating the camp's end.

He's been in years past - and it's what connected him to Fairfield Army veteran, Dan Dougherty.

Dougherty's rifle company helped liberate Dachau that day. Hope was on a death march out of the camp when he saw his freedom in hundreds of American tanks coming to end it all.

75 years later, the two men would discover they lived within an hour of each other all this time after the war.

In this second piece in my series, their touching reunion that truly stops time.

What Hope can do: Part 1.

I'm so beyond excited for you all to see this story. I've been working on it for months and my three-part series started airing last night.

Nick Hope, born Nicolai Choprenko, was just 17 when he found himself at the gates of Dachau concentration camp.

He now lives in Northern California, but is from a small town in Ukraine. He wasn't sent to the camp because he was Jewish, but by a twist of fate after Nazis invaded his home in 1941.

Right now -- Hope is back at Dachau for an annual ceremony celebrating the camp's end. He turns 100 this year.

This is the first part of his incredible story. Please take a few minutes to watch, it would mean a lot to me.

[Ashley Sharp @AshleySharpTV]

You guys are the sweetest! I’m excited for everyone to meet Tyler 💛

A final salute. Here's my story from Lou Conter's funeral on Tuesday. He was given full military honors as hundreds of people showed up to pay their respects. Conter was the last survivor from the USS Arizona battleship when it sank during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

There are now fewer than 20 Pearl Harbor survivors still alive today.

Rest in Peace to an American hero -- and thank you to the Conter family for letting us be a part of this day.

Lieutenant Commander Lou Conter’s body is now in its final resting place in Grass Valley. The last living survivor of the U.S.S. Arizona was honored today as a true American hero. Conter died at 102 on April 1st. There are now fewer than 20 Pearl Harbor survivors remaining. Rest in peace 🇺🇸 @CBSSacramento

REMEMBERING A HERO: Lieutenant Commander Lou Conter was the last living survivor of the U.S.S. Arizona. He was aboard the battleship when it was bombed and sank at Pearl Harbor.

He passed peacefully in his sleep earlier this month.
Ahead of his funeral this morning, I sat down with one of Lou's sons to talk about the incredible legacy he leaves behind.

Now more than ever, it's a reminder of why it's so important to share these stories. We have so few firsthand accounts left of this chapter of history. Never forget these service members - and their sacrifices for our freedom.
