New Jersey school has required every freshman to hike 55 miles on the Appalachian Trail for 53 years straight.

At St. Benedict’s Prep in Newark, this isn’t optional — it’s a mandatory 5-day rite of passage before becoming a sophomore.

Many students have never hiked or camped before. They train together in the spring, then get split into small teams where each kid gets a critical role: navigator, medic, cook, captain, etc. No one knows everything — they must rely on each other.

With minimal adult supervision, they hike rain or shine, facing blisters, sore muscles, and real challenges head-on. As one administrator put it: “The only way we can get through this is if we work together.”

The result? Teens who return more confident, resilient, and bonded — proving that real growth happens when you step away from screens and into the wilderness.

What an incredible tradition! Parents, educators, and anyone raising tough kids — this is gold.

Who else believes we need more experiences like this?

Where Saving Private Ryan happened today, and where 19 Bedford Boys died. It's getting dark now in Normandy. D Day, my favorite day in history, is drawing to a close. Please follow me on Substack. https://t.co/y6G2nmqJbu

Two Infantrymen. Two generations. One unbreakable bond.

A World War Il veteran and a Soldier from today's generation stood together in a moment of respect, gratitude, and brotherhood. Their words were kind, their admiration mutual, and their connection instant.

It was a beautiful reminder that the legacy of the Greatest Generation lives on through the courage, service, and dedication of the next generation stepping forward to carry the torch. 🫡

When my family and I say it’s not about money but the people inside that building (who is my family) Here is what that looks like. The support I get in this building while still being held accountable is why I picked @HuskerFootball. Yes I got checked today on a few things. Money can’t buy my trust. Real people earn it though.

Today, the remains of a fallen U.S. Navy sailor were flown into Little Rock's Clinton National Airport, greeted with a reverent hero's welcome to the state he left more than 80 years ago as a teenager.

Fireman 3rd Class Royle Bradford Luker was just 17 years old when he was killed during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. He was one of the 106 crewmen on the USS West Virginia who were killed in the attack. For decades, he was listed as killed in action, but his remains were deemed non-recoverable.

Through recent advancements in DNA technology and the work of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, F3C Luker was identified.

In the years since the "date that will live in infamy," F3C Luker was awarded numerous honors for his valor and sacrifice, including the Purple Heart.

A procession by Arkansas State Police, Little Rock Police Department, and other law enforcement agencies accompanied F3C Luker today on the final leg of his trip from Little Rock to Dardanelle.

Graveside services with full military honors will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at New Bethel Cemetery near Plainview in Yell County.

His return home is a solemn reminder that America does not forget those who gave their lives in service to our nation.
