Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Darren Woo is a 56-year-old firefighter. He works full-time for the Savannah River Site Fire Department and also volunteers for Columbia County. He's been a caddie at Champions Retreat, about 20 minutes from Augusta National, for six years. He's also a father to five boys.
Two weeks ago, Woo looped for three @RazorbackWGolf players during a practice round at Champions – one of them was Maria Jose Marin. When Marin asked Woo if he'd caddie for her at @anwagolf, Woo jumped at the chance. Behind the scenes, Marin's father, Jose, was giving up the bag, telling his daughter, “I love you with all my heart, but you need someone that knows how to handle a tournament of this level.”
Woo had zero experience at Augusta National, though his calming presence and positivity earned him the loop for Saturday's final round. Arkansas coach Shauna Estes-Taylor said Woo's southern accent was so calming, that one could "meditate to it."
Throughout the final day, Woo encouraged Marin with things such as:
Be confident.
You’re going to work it out.
Give yourself a chance.
Keep your head up.
Breathe.
"He was my greatest support during the whole week and a key to the victory," Marin said.
Woo revealed after Marin's win that he worked a 14-hour shift that ended at 7 a.m. Saturday, less than four hours before Marin's tee time. He also shared that he not only has one granddaughter but he has two more grandchildren on the way.
“Maybe I’ll be lucky enough and have three granddaughters," Woo said, "and they can all grow up to be like Maria.”
The Corgi was the one leading them home
The German Shepherd was injured
The dogs kept a protective formation around the German Shepherd
The Corgi stopped often to make sure they were still okay
It took them 2 days to get home
They are neighbourhood friends
I’m going to cry😭😭😭
Skubal on Verlander: “Selfishly I’m just like, he’s my f**king teammate now. I’m getting goosebumps. It’s a hero. When you look up to a guy that was playing when you were in HS, you put him on a pedestal that’s way higher than everyone else, and now you get to share a clubhouse.”
Tarik Skubal accepted his 2025 AL Cy Young Award on Saturday night.
“After last year’s dinner, I told AJ (Hinch), same time next year,” the Tigers ace said.
“Skip, for the sake of superstition and a three-peat, let’s go ahead and keep the same plan for a year from now.”
This is awesome: NFL referee Dominique Pender has a teaching degree from Columbia, a finance degree from Howard, and is a VP at Citibank.
Here he is sprinting 30 yards to separate the Giants and Raiders players on the sideline.
What an incredible story.
If I were to be a running back in the @NFL, what would happen first… I’m knocked out of the game due to injury or fumble?
Cue the “both at the same time!!!!” (I think that’s my answer 🤣)
@axs@MorganWallen I never got a confirmation email, and every time I try to Live Chat with someone on the website it gets be down to 10 people ahead of me and then times me out because of the 10 minute idle 🙃 I’ve never had so many issues with purchasing tickets
#Lions’ Brian Branch says he shouldn’t have been involved in the post-game skirmish but claims they were trying to “bully” him out there. “It was childish,” he said.
Branch says he was blocked in the back illegally at the end of the game in front of refs and grew frustrated.
An all timer this week for our guy. After 9000 miles the last 2 weeks we’ll be in 3 time zones and 5000 miles in 4 days. Just want him knowing what we’re facing-he’s ready!
Miss Terry had us working overtime with her list this year 😂 Thankfully, @HomeDepot's fast free delivery kept us stocked up so we could actually get it all done. #HomeDepotPartner
I have never told this story publicly before:
When my own family faced real danger, my home damaged by fire, bullets flying on our block, my infant child and wife under threat, Charlie Kirk literally gave us his house to stay in as long as we needed as we searched for a new place to live in Florida. We were there for months. Charlie never asked for a thing in return.
I have a home in Florida and a thriving, growing family because of Charlie Kirk.
That’s the type of man he was.
Multiply that by millions of young lives, and you see the force he was.
We must carry forward his mission.
Charlie’s children will be raised with stories instead of memories, photographs instead of laughter, and silence where their father’s voice should have echoed.
Charlie Kirk’s life should serve as a symbolic reminder that compassionate awareness elevates family, love, and country.
