His partners were there with him.

Rest well hero 🙏🏽

With profound sorrow, we mourn the passing of one of America's Greatest Generation, WWII hero Ray Curtis, who has left us at the remarkable age of 109. Ray passed away peacefully at an assisted living facility in Minot, leaving behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.🕊️🇺🇸

Born on February 11, 1917, in Portal, North Dakota, Ray moved to Minot with his family in 1927 and graduated from Minot High School in 1935. He went on to answer his nation's call, serving with honor in the United States Army for five years, first as an enlisted soldier and later as a commissioned officer, including service overseas during one of history's darkest chapters.

Ray's life was a testament to courage, sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering patriotism. Across more than a century, he witnessed the world change in extraordinary ways, yet his legacy remained rooted in humility, duty, and love of country.

Today, we don't simply remember a veteran, we honor a hero whose service helped preserve the freedoms generations continue to enjoy. His story reminds us that true heroes never seek recognition; they earn it through selfless acts and steadfast devotion.

Thank you, Ray Curtis, for your extraordinary service, your sacrifice, and your lifetime of example. Your watch has ended, but your legacy will endure in the hearts of a grateful nation.

Rest in Peace, Sir. You will never be forgotten.
Remarkable long life wasn’t it?

@Gabriele_Corno Hopefully the rest of his life is healthy, happy, safe and long. Lots of love and treats.

Deputy Sheriff Adam Heitman is gone.

A 38-year-old Marine vet and K-9 handler with the Creek County Sheriff’s Office @CreekCoSheriff in Oklahoma dropped dead from a medical emergency right after chasing down and arresting a wanted felon with his dog. Less than an hour later, at the station, his body gave out. Brothers tried to save him, but he didn’t make it.

This guy had already saved lives before. Back in 2022 he hit an overdose victim with Narcan three times and kept doing CPR until she came back breathing. Real hero stuff. Married, two little girls left behind.

We lose another good one while the trash he was hauling in keeps breathing. That’s the world these men walk into every damn shift. No glory, just risk and then silence.

Deputy Heitman ran toward the fight when most folks run away. Rest easy, brother. Your watch is over. We got it from here.

@FDNY Enjoy a well deserved retirement 👏.

RIP. Oklahoma Deputy Sheriff Adam Heitman, who gave his life in the line of duty, is the 55th officer lost in 2026.

Deputy Sheriff Adam Heitman died from a medical emergency after apprehending a fleeing felon during an arrest attempt.

The Creek County Sheriff’s Office Task Force, the United States Marshals Service, Muscogee Nation Lighthorse Police, and Creek County Sheriff's Office deputies were serving a warrant on a suspect wanted on multiple felony warrants. On July 7, the suspect had fled law enforcement during a traffic stop and had been charged with assault and battery on a law enforcement officer.

When officers attempted to arrest the suspect, he fled. Deputy Heitman, with his K9 partner, Thanos, pursued the suspect over a fence, across a creek, and through a field, apprehending the suspect.

Back at the Creek County Sheriff's Office, Deputy Heitman suffered a medical emergency less than an hour after the arrest. Despite attempts at life-saving measures, he passed away that evening at Ascension St. John Sapulpa Hospital.

The suspect, a convicted felon with prior escape convictions and a long criminal record, has a pending DUI case, a deferred sentence in a 2014 drug case, charges for assault and battery, and escape from arrest.

Deputy Heitman was a United States Marine Corps veteran and had served with the Creek County Sheriff's Office for four years. He previously served with the Kiefer Police Department.

He is survived by his wife and two daughters.

🖤🙏💙🙏🖤

She's been at our shelter since 2013. Eleven years. Every person who met her said she was wonderful. Every person walked past her kennel and chose a younger dog. She stopped coming to the front of her kennel a few years ago. Stopped performing. Made a quiet peace with being where she was." Last Tuesday a veteran came in. He said — "I need a calm dog. I'm still learning how to be still myself." I showed him three dogs. He was putting his jacket on to leave. He stopped outside kennel seven. Luna looked at him from her bed. Didn't perform. Didn't come to the front. Just looked at him the way she looks at people when she decides they're worth seeing. He said — "Can I sit with her?" He sat on the concrete floor at her level. Not the bench. The floor. That was 11am. At 3pm I looked in. He was still there. Her white muzzle was in his hand. Their breathing had synchronized. At 3:15 he came to the front desk and said — "I'd like to take her home. I think we need each other." I excused myself to the back room and sat on an overturned bucket and cried for a long time. He texted me yesterday — "First time I've slept through the night in three years. I think she was saving that for me." She was. Eleven years of saving it. For one Tuesday. For him. Drop a ❤️ for Luna. Share this for every senior dog still waiting for their Tuesday. They're saving everything they have for the right person to walk through that door.

Corey Comperatore was a husband, father, firefighter, and true American hero.

On July 13, 2024, when gunfire erupted at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Corey’s first instinct was to protect his family. He shielded his wife and daughters with his own body, making the ultimate sacrifice for the people he loved most.

His courage was not measured by words, but by what he did in a moment of danger. That bravery will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Corey. Your legacy of love, service, and sacrifice lives on. 🇺🇸🚒❤️

For nearly two decades, Trooper Pahira wore the patch of the Pennsylvania State Police with pride and distinction. Enlisting in 2007 as a member of the 124th Cadet Class, he spent his career keeping our communities and highways safe-most recently serving with dedication in the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit at Troop L, Frackville.

Trooper Pahira gave his life while actively working to protect others, a testament to the profound bravery that defines our finest public servants.

May he rest in peace. 🕊️
