“We gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows.”
98-year-old World War II veteran David Yoho delivered an emotional message at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. as Americans gathered to honor the more than 400,000 U.S. service members who died during the war.
Standing before the crowd in the rain, Yoho urged younger generations to remember the sacrifices made by veterans and to keep telling their stories long after they’re gone.
“Tell them it was a 16-year-old boy in the hearts and mind and body of a 98-year-old veteran of World War II.”
@SeanTrende Thank you for sharing. God bless the whole family. Simply profound, authentic, and filled with pride, joy, pain and hope. All in one essay. Wow.
I almost hesitate to promote this, because it wasn't really intended to be a piece. I just sort of sat down and it came out. Maybe someone else out there has the same type of day today, and it'll speak to them.

“Taps” has honored fallen service members for generations, but not every military funeral includes a live bugler. That’s why volunteers with Taps for Veterans are stepping up – some dropping everything to drive hours – to play from the heart and make sure every veteran receives the tribute they deserve.

Reunited after 14 years with the best friend anyone could have, Daniel Forrester. Spent the morning in NYC at Smithfields in NYC watching West Ham win, then went to the Theodore Roosevelt museum and birthplace, and I'm off to see CHESS this evening. Great day! @DPForrester
The most enduring marker of success isn't wealth, fame, or power. It’s what we create and contribute to others.
In the short run, status symbols capture attention. In the long run, achievement is judged by impact.
The highest accomplishment is improving the lives of others.
