Navy World War II aerial photographer William Smith makes for a compelling DB Cooper suspect. https://t.co/uZ7j7N51rn. #DBCooper

@VetDad25 Yep. Hard to keep track of the “rules”. If Hegseth does something, it’s bad. But it’s ok for others.

@KSRethuglican I think it’s AI. She’s a ballerina. I’m no liberal, but we don’t need AI to fight the fight. She’s young and immature. Give her a chance.

@Cyn3021mcMahon I guess I’ll have to change the pic then. I was misinformed.

[Dave TV @DaveTV96]

@Cyn3021mcMahon You should be checked out for BPD. It would explain a lot. I’m not judging. Everyone has their obstacles in life.

@SGTWipper1Each Fort Bliss for me. Fort Irwin close second.

🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know D-Day Edition: John J. Pinder Jr.

Technician Fifth Grade John J. Pinder Jr. landed on Omaha beach on his birthday. He didn’t make it off.

Born June 6, 1912, in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, Joe Pinder was the oldest of three children. His father worked in the steel industry.

He graduated as valedictorian of Butler High School in 1931.

Pinder spent the next several years as a right-handed pitcher in the minor leagues.

He played six seasons in the farm systems of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, and Brooklyn Dodgers.

In 1941 he won 17 games and was still chasing a shot at the major leagues when the war came.

He entered the Army in January 1942 after Pearl Harbor.

Assigned as a radio operator with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, he fought in North Africa and Sicily.

In Sicily he earned a Bronze Star for staying at an observation post under fire.

On June 6, 1944, Pinder landed with the first waves on Omaha Beach on his birthday.

Communications were shattered. His job was to get a working radio ashore.

He made it off the landing craft. They were 100 yards off the beach.

Then he was hit. A round tore into his face after only a few steps off the boat.

Pinder held the torn flesh of his face together with one hand, carried the radio with the other, and delivered the radio to his unit, while wading thru waste deep water.

That should have been enough. It wasn’t.

Weakened and bleeding, he turned around and went back into the surf and fire three more times to salvage communication equipment.

He even recovered another workable radio.

On the third trip machine gun fire hit him again, this time in the legs.

Still he kept going.

Weakening but exposed on the beach, he helped get the radios working so the men around him could call for support.

While doing so, he was hit for the third time and killed.

Medal of Honor. Posthumous.

It was presented to his father on January 26, 1945.

Pinder was initially buried in Normandy.

In 1947 his family brought him home to Grandview Cemetery in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.

He was the only professional baseball player awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II.

John Pinder is an American Badass

Thank you, John! 🫡🇺🇸

Gun sales in Virginia up 103% compared to last May. Sales of long guns 2nd in the nation behind TX. NFA checks also 2nd highest in US.

@TaskandPurpose A joint mindset is a good thing, even if they are not assigned to a billet. Germans were doing it in the 30s. Can’t help but think of Heinz Guderian and his combined arms focus. Not exactly the same as joint as we know it but close.

@landofthe80s Kathy Ireland never got the recognition she deserved. She’s an icon. Still is. But almost every cover of the 70s and 80s was awesome. I can’t pick one. 90s too.

[Dave TV @DaveTV96]

@MCBashaw Dems weaponized COVID. They exploited it. But it still sucked to have. I knew SEALs who had a legit reason to say no, but I also knew POSs who sat at desks who just didn’t want to follow orders and were not team players. Looks like they are bringing the good ones back.

@AdamKinzinger I found The Citadel much harder than the Army. It has to be ten times harder than the Air Force. Plus she was a woman there in the late 90s, which must have very isolating. Sit this one out Adam. Always playing an angle.

@FreedomAmerica If Massachusetts was not controlled by Dems, Lew would be Governor or in Congress. Republicans can not get a break. If he was in a red state there is no doubt he’d be well known.

@stevetefft @johnfgately No. Rutland is not woke. This is a money issue. Being in a blue state certainly does not help. Great town. Great people.

[Dave TV @DaveTV96]

@libsoftiktok @DillyJo @RutlandMAGov Great town. This is budget cuts. Some of my earliest memories are of those fireworks. A lot of conservatives in Central Mass. The Dem state wastes money and good towns like Rutland suffer. This has nothing to do with MAGA.

[Dave TV @DaveTV96]

@hotscots_app Yep. Happens every year. Mentioning color of money shows you know what’s going on. Drones and counter drones are where the $ is. AI. Not tank ranges. In that business someone is gaining and someone is losing. Navy and Air Force not complaining.

@kylegriffin1 Not a big bourbon drinker, but it would be awesome to get one of these.

@sethweathers I want to be on that jury. Not guilty.

@kazvotvaxt @CigsMake @NewYorkMets Yep. They beat the Red Sox in 1986.
