"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.
Today, even though life will be hard and people will press your buttons, pray like David: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10)
Everyone STOP SCROLLING and listen to this…

What a powerful moment.
This morning, we announced that 58 more child predators are behind bars.
If you come to Florida and prey on our kids, don’t be surprised to end up in Sheriff Woods' jail. With nearly 1,700 predators arrested since I took office, we are just getting started.

.@FLOTUS: For the first time, children in foster care will have access to a dedicated savings and investment vehicle — Fostering the Future Accounts — giving foster children the same chance for asset ownership and long-term wealth building as every other American child.
I’m the first adopted frozen embryo in the world ❄️
One argument I hear all the time is that embryos can survive freezing while a newborn cannot.
That’s true.
But it has to do with cell complexity, not humanity.
An embryo’s cells are less complex than a newborn’s, which is why cryopreservation is possible.
That’s a difference in developmental stage, not a difference in what they are.
Both are human.
Once children became things we can create, select, freeze, discard, rent wombs for, pay for, screen for, customize, we really should not be shocked when people begin speaking of them like they are just products, because that is what products are, they are judged by their quality, they are measured by how useful they are, they are accepted or rejected based on whether they meet the desires of the buyer.
This is what normalizing abortion, IVF and surrogacy has done for us. Evils beyond our wildest imaginations.
The truth is, Jesse, it doesn’t matter if:
•Your baby had Trisomy 21.
•The decision was made lightly or after agonizing over it.
•People shared painful personal stories with you.
•Your doctors, friends, family, or genetic counselors told you it was okay.
•Other people supported your decision.
•Down syndrome would have brought real challenges.
•Your baby may have had heart defects, hearing loss, vision problems, immune issues, developmental delays, learning disabilities, low muscle tone, facial differences, or a shortened lifespan.
•It would have been hard on your family.
•Your child may have depended on you for the rest of your life.
•Every other parent in the world would have made the same choice.
•You do not feel shame.
None of that changes the moral reality.
Your child’s diagnosis did not make him less human. His dependency did not make him disposable. His suffering did not give anyone the right to end his life.
It was wrong to kill your child.
Several years ago, Jill Stanek, a former registered nurse, testified before the House Judiciary Committee about her time working in the Labor and Delivery ward of Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois.
She described what it was like to discover that babies who survived abortions were being placed in a utility closet to die.
She said: “I was traumatized and changed forever by my experience of holding a little abortion survivor for 45 minutes until he died, a 21/22-week-old baby who had been aborted because he had Down Syndrome.”
Infants with special needs in this nation are routinely killed, maimed, and tortured simply because of their diagnosis. If you can’t take the most morally obvious position in the world, that babies shouldn’t be murdered, I am not interested on your view on anything else.
The possession of child sexual abuse material, or “child pornography,” should be made a capital offense at the federal level, so that the monsters who collect it can’t evade execution by living in states that don’t have the death penalty.
The only way for someone like that to even possibly avoid execution would be to turn in other predators, at which point prosecutors could consider whether or not the sentence should be reduced to life without the possibility of parole.
Anyone who is capable of enjoying the rape and abuse of children will always be capable of it.
Many are not going to like this one, but a gluten free diet can change some of your lives immensely. From lowering autoimmune flare ups to effortlessly losing inflammation based weight, switching wheat based grains for fruit (especially), potatoes and squashes is one of the simplest vitality moves you can do.
We have spent years being told it is “just a period problem” while our skin, our weight, our mood, and our energy were all falling apart. Today, the medical world finally admitted you were right.
PCOS is now PMOS.
BREAKING: Kenya's Court of Appeal rules that abortion violates the child's right to life and overturns the decision of a rogue judge who had tried to legalise abortion!
This is a HUGE win in one of Africa's biggest legal cases ever.
Congratulations Kenya!
