Or maybe just spend less. FL will have four straight years of spending reductions once next year’s budget is signed later this month.

Some localities have doubled spending. Operating at spending levels of, say, two years ago is easily achievable — and would greatly help our homestead property owners.

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

@bushwood_c Same, Slice. Beach beverages happening soon.

@bushwood_c @LennyFisheye IMO, if you ask to leave, that means you admit that you failed. That’s not good or bad, but sometimes a change of scenery is good for all.

[Mark Hoeller @MarkHoeller]

@bushwood_c @LennyFisheye Yeah. Maybe a giant shake up is needed. Going that long and not making the playoffs is ridiculous.

[Mark Hoeller @MarkHoeller]

@bushwood_c @LennyFisheye Dammit, Slice!! We can’t have nice things I guess.

Regardless of your hockey team, this Stanley Cup Finals intro is absolutely unbelievable…

Ray Bourque interview, @TheKillers ‘All These Things That I’ve Done’ playing, Jon Hamm narrating… Just perfection. Made me tear up.

Extremely well done 👏🏽👏🏽
