アメリカ独立250周年の祝典を前に、ニューヨーク沖へ集結した世界各国の帆船。その夜、船団を激しい嵐が襲いました。

時空を超えた、まるで映画のワンシーン。

One of my favorite 250th moments so far. French Foreign Legion @LegionEtrangere singing ‘Non, je regrette rien’ at @MountVernon.

Merci @FRDefenseUSA

[Department of War - CFO @DoWCFO]

From the Continental Army to today's joint force, every generation has stood watch over our nation's freedom.

@DeptOfWar is honoring that legacy by investing in the next generation of warfighters and ensuring our military remains the strongest, most capable force in the world. 

Happy 250th Birthday America! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[InfantryDort @infantrydort]

I highly suggest following this VERY American account.

It’s not possible to overdose on Americana, but this War Department page sure is gonna try!!

[Jules Hurst @JulesHurstIII]

I’m excited to listen to this one @EvansRyan202

[Ryan Evans @EvansRyan202]

This is one of my favorite episodes of the War on the Rocks that we've done, ever. And to remind you, this podcast was launched in 2013 so that's saying a lot. I speak with the Marines responsible for creating and running the Marine Corps' first FPV drone training program. Click here and you'll be able to listen on your podcast app of choice.

John Adams, writing to Abigail, about the Continental Congress' vote in favor of independence on July 2, 1776:

"The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. -- I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. -- Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not."

I would zero the financial odometer and restart in an instant to return to young parenting. No life experience exceeds fatherhood.

If you are blessed to have children, and have an instinctive love of fathering, don’t stop at two!

[JD Vance @JDVance]

I really enjoyed this interview with Steve Bartlett. He asked me the single most interesting question I've ever been asked.

Here, we talk about Mamaw and Usha, and how I wish they'd met.

This will go down as the greatest 2026 World Cup interview

[Military Support @MilitaryCooI]

"The enemy smelled our blood and thought we were prey. They forgot that a wounded animal is the most lethal. We tore that jungle apart to stay alive."

Major James Capers Jr stands as one of the greatest Recon Marines to ever do it. He enlisted in the Corps and fought his way into Force Recon where he became the leader of Team Broadminded. He completed more than 60 long range patrols and five major campaigns in Vietnam.

In 1967 near Phu Loc he was wounded 19 times while fighting a numerically superior enemy force. With broken legs, shrapnel across his body he refused evacuation until every Marine on his 9 man team was lifted out. His Silver Star citation states he continued to coordinate fire and movement under direct and indirect fire while suffering extreme blood loss.

That Silver Star, originally downgraded after his commander was kill*d and the Medal of Honor paperwork lost, is now being formally upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Capers was not only a mustang, he earned a battlefield commission in combat, a rare honor that speaks to the trust his Marines placed in him.

At eighty eight he remains a giant, a warrior who carried his team through hell and set the standard every Recon Marine still measures himself against.

Did @Eric_Schmitt just make the greatest play in the history of the congressional baseball game?

[Kristina Wong 🇺🇸 @Kristinawong]

Best day ever.

I got to spend it at Normandy with our nation’s heroes.

This is 107-year-old World War II Navy veteran Arthur Rose.

Not expecting to be part of the invasion, on June 6, 1944, at Omaha Beach he commanded 36 vessels delivering provisions to Army forces ashore.

He wrote in a letter home to his parents a few days later:

"I will always be grateful to my commander for taking me along. Don't worry about me. I am well, and whole, and happy. Love, Art.”

I am so lucky to have met him! 🫡

El Papa León XIV con los jóvenes en Madrid:

“No tengáis miedo al matrimonio y a formar una familia.”

SÍ.

[Glenn Youngkin @GlennYoungkin]

Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy. Among them were the Bedford Boys — 44 men from a small Virginia town of just 3,200 people. Nineteen were killed within the first nine minutes, without ever firing a shot, giving Bedford the highest per capita D-Day loss in the nation.

They gave up their tomorrows for our today. Never Forget the Bedford Boys and all Americans who gave their lives to liberate the world from tyranny and secure the freedoms we cherish as Americans 🇺🇸

Our youngest child has Down syndrome (trisomy 21) and he is the light of our family. My other children adore him. He may never achieve worldly success, but he will be blessed with a temperance of worldly desires and we are blessed to have him!

[Steven Godofsky @sgodofsk]

George Will's son Jon has Down syndrome. In 2013, he wrote this celebrating Jon's 40th birthday.

Today, we remember and honor the selfless US military heroes who sacrificed everything for our great nation and for us. May each of us thank God for their courage and profound sacrifice made to preserve our freedoms, ask Him to wrap our troops in His hedge of protection, and may God bless America.

[Hung Cao @HungCao_VA]

Thirty years after I graduated, and exactly one month after I assumed the duties and responsibilities as the acting Secretary of the Navy, I got to sign my own son’s commission and speak at his graduation. Only God could have orchestrated this.

[Department of War - CFO @DoWCFO]

Freedom is defended by the men and women who serve with courage, discipline, and honor. Today, and every day, we are thankful for the warfighters who stand watch for America.

[U.S. Fleet Forces @USFleetForces]

Welcome home! 🥳

USS Winston S. Churchill returned following a successful 11-month deployment to the U.S. Central Command, U.S. European Command, and U.S. Southern Command areas of operations as the Air and Missile Defense Commander for the Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group.
