At 100 years old, WWII veteran Bernie Smoot still drives his convertible Ford Mustang to play golf five days a week, shoots in the low 80s and shares wisdom from 74 years in the game: “You live to play golf. But to reach my age, you play golf to live.”

To celebrate Bernie — who landed at Omaha Beach just months after graduating high school — his PGA Coach and friend Jeff Maynor organized a tournament in his honor at the University of Maryland Golf Course, where Bernie plays five days a week.

Maynor, the course’s PGA Director of Golf, has run a @PGAHOPE program there for Veterans since 2019, which Bernie loves to support. The tournament for Bernie was a chance for those Veterans to thank him and celebrate his love for the game.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying. I’ll always be grateful to our fallen heroes and their families, whose sacrifice reminds us of what it means to live for something greater than ourselves.

Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.

They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.

France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend

The Submarine Force had the highest casualty rate of all American forces in WW2. One in 5 submariners gave their lives; 52 boats and 3,506 men remain on eternal patrol. Subs made up less than 2% of the US Navy but sank nearly 60% of all Japanese shipping. #MemorialDay

@RonFilipkowski @grok have other Secretaries of Defense ever campaigned for members of congress?

In honor of the 40th Anniversary re-release of Top Gun tomorrow, here's the "wrap photo" of the eight Tomcat crew who flew all of the aviation scenes in that movie...(I'm bottom right). Ultimate #TomcatTuesday 😎 LFG!

[Navy Athletics @NavyAthletics]

Alyssa Chung caps a 7-0 game closing run by @NavyWLax to give the Mids an 11-10 OT victory (3:16) over Syracuse. Navy will play Thursday at Maryland in the QF round. Chung scored 4 goals today.

Congratulations to Brian Hughes! He’s a hard worker, a strong leader, and a true patriot. I was blessed to have him on my team when I was Governor of Florida and he has done tremendous things since then. @NASA is lucky to have him back.

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial. Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

We really do. 🫂

[Jeff Passan @JeffPassan]

Center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs are in agreement on a six-year, $115 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The deal starts in 2027 and does not include a club option, allowing Crow-Armstrong to hit free agency before his age-31 season.

Today, on March 14, 1973, U.S. Navy pilot John McCain was released after 5 1/2 years as a POW in Hanoi. He was among 108 American prisoners of war freed that day. #JohnMcCain #USNavy #Honor

[Air Power @RealAirPower1]

The IDF is reporting that the last of Iran's flyable F-14s have been destroyed. #avgeeks, let's face it, we may never see a Tomcat fly again. Ever. So, it's time to bid farewell to the TopGun fighter and move on.
End of an era.

@SecWar I don’t often involve myself in politics, but this is the line that needs to be held. GFY pete (lower case intentional). For the record, I did not attend an Ivy, but I would have been honored to do so.

Jack Hughes brought out Tage Thompson and spoke to the New Jersey crowd in his return to the NHL after they brought home the gold medal 👏
