Most people have heard military cadences.
The chants.
The rhythm.
The calls that soldiers repeat while marching.
But here's the part people miss.
A Foundational Black American soldier named Pvt. Willie Lee Duckworth is credited with creating the original "Sound Off" cadence that helped inspire the marching chants still used today.
In 1944, during World War II, Duckworth was marching with tired soldiers at Fort Slocum, New York.
But he started calling out a rhythm.
And the soldiers answered back.
The energy changed.
The march changed.
The spirit of the group changed.
That simple call became known as the Duckworth Chant.
And it spread throughout the Army.
More than 80 years later,
soldiers are still marching to cadences built from the same tradition.
Think about that for a second.
A Foundational Black American soldier created something designed to keep people moving together.
And that tradition still echoes across military bases today.
That story deserves to be remembered.

@MacsMind78@Chargers_Union@DegenClub80 Similar stats when Marino played in a more defensive era. Playing the straight numbers game with Marino isn't a great comparison considering what they allowed back then
Dawg on IG they asked straight men what’s the gayest thing they’ve done and a dude said he raised his hand in the club when the DJ asked who got a birthday tonight lmaooooo

Sanford advises @Javits to pick a top-tier character in Street Fighter 4 while walking towards the chinatown fair with @thisislijoe .
Mai can be very difficult character to fight in SF6.
@Greg4ur@Daykerpriest This was early in the movie when they had less control, they fully took control by the time she shows up on his doorstep leaving her real side to have small outbursts or fight it overnight (the scene watching him sleep)
