Equinox today - ‘equal night’ and day. This photo, just taken, clearly shows the Sun’s shadow perpendicular to the equator. Start of Fall in the north, start of Spring in the south.

An amazing date in US history. We are blessed for the accomplishments of the space program in the early days that have lifted us to a space economy that leverages advanced technology and communications.
On this day, July 16th 1969, we were “GO” for launch – and at precisely 13:32 UTC, #Apollo11 lifted off from @NASAKennedy to transport three mortal Americans – Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and myself – to the Moon. The hard work, dedication and focus across the entire @NASA enterprise came down to this – even though it was only the beginning of our journey. But as Walter Cronkite remarked at the time, “The dawn of this day heralded the dawning of a new age. It’s a time of exhilaration, reflection, hope, fulfillment – as a centuries’ old dream starts toward reality.”
Early this morning, soldiers from the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (@USArmyOldGuard) carried out the longstanding tradition of “Flags In” at Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery.

BREAKING: Jeep debuts the best commercial of Super Bowl 59.
They dropped $32 million on this ad—and they’re about to get their money’s worth and then some.
Starring Harrison Ford and the American flag, the ad featured several patriotic statements, including:
“Freedom is for everybody. But it isn’t free. It’s earned.”
“There are real heroes in the world, but not the ones in the movies. Real heroes are humble, and they’re not driven by pride.”
“The most sacred thing in life isn’t the path. It’s the freedom to choose it.”
@CollegeFBonX Army does another spectacular job blending history into this year’s uniform. To Army it is more than the uniform for the most important game of the year. It is a brilliant way to honor our heritage and those who have defended this Nation.

This is Army - Navy week! If the average American wants to see what is right with America, watch the Army-Navy game this Saturday. Want to share a previously posted blog on what this game means to America. Go Army! Beat Navy! https://t.co/9T2naIArwx
On Saturday, @CBSSports will proudly present the 125th Army-Navy Game.

The @theusarmyband did not disappoint! Another great holiday concert to put everyone in the holiday spirit. The snow at the end added a new level of Christmas magic to their performance.
83 years ago today the United States’ place in the world changed forever. A generation of Americans mobilized this country to defend against tyranny and demonstrated the power the United States could produce to defend freedom for not just our citizens but for the entire world.
On this Day of Infamy, we honor the lives lost at Pearl Harbor.
