As our nation observes Memorial Day next week, we must uphold President Lincoln’s promise to Gold Star Families like the Briley's, who lost their hero, CWO3 Donovan Lee ‘Bull’ Briley 30+ years ago.
To support families like hers who were forever changed because of her husbands dedicated service – H.R. 6047 meets that mission. #SupportCantWait

Tonight, Chairman @RepBost and @RepGregMurphy met with the Edmundson family to discuss the impact H.R. 6047 would have on the thousands of families like theirs who care for our nation’s wounded veterans 24/7, 365.
We need to #PassHR6047 for them.
the hardest part of the whole deal wouldn’t be keeping quiet or not spending anything, but keeping my wife from noticing that I am at all times extremely relaxed
The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.

Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him.
I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.
