"The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith that they fought for all of humanity, faith that a just God would grant them mercy on this beachhead, or on the next."
- President Ronald Reagan, June 6, 1984
#DDay
As a part of a decades-long tradition, soldiers from the @USArmyOldGuard place a U.S. flag at every gravesite, columbarium and niche wall ahead of Memorial Day at ANC.
This tradition has taken place annually for decades and every available soldier in the Old Guard participates.
THREAD:
When guerrillas in the Civil War left the Ozark back country on the brink of anarchy, a vigilante group known as the "Bald Knobbers" emerged from the hills and attempted to reinstate law and order.
Their story is one of bizarre action and violence that lives on today.
Drove by a guy this afternoon who was holding a sign at the side of the road on the Roslyn, Va. side of the Key Memorial Bridge.
The sign had a blue and yellow arrow pointing east ➡️, and a caption above it reading:
"COURAGE—4,870 mi."
@gcmill11799 @chantal_suzanne Also you have to try Acerola Sorbet while you’re there! It’s so good! And Sancocho & fried plantains were both neat authentic foods that I thought were good! Have fun!
@gcmill11799 @chantal_suzanne I went on a missions trip, so I didn’t see a ton of touristy things, but Old San Juan was super neat! Definitely visit Fortaleza Street with the umbrella canopy & check out the Castillo San Felipe del Morro fort!
Want to tell you guys a story.
When I was 12, my brother (15) went on a school field trip at a lake. No one saw what happened but my brother ended up under water for more than 10 minutes and when they found him he was dead. They spent ~30min resuscitating before he breathed.
