In March 2025, the last surviving pilot of the Battle of Britain died at the age of 105.
He had been shot down four times. He survived a burning cockpit, the sea, a parachute that snagged in a tree, and a fall behind enemy lines.
When he died, the last of Churchill's "Few" was gone forever.

This thread is the best thing I've seen in a long while.
I'm crying tears of gratitude for our fallen soldiers and the freedoms we all get to enjoy because of their sacrifice.

Tulsi, thank you. Not just for taking the time to visit Alan today, but for understanding the weight of that sacrifice in a way few people ever truly will.
You answered the call to serve this country just like he did. You know what it means to put on the uniform, to stand willing to give everything in defense of this nation, and that makes this gesture mean even more to our family.
Seeing you standing there at his grave honestly brought me to tears. Thank you for honoring Alan, for saying his name, and for reminding me that there are still people in this country who have not forgotten the cost of freedom. ๐บ๐ธ

Good Friday
Pause and pray at each today:
6:00 AM โ Jesus is tried by Jewish leaders
7:00 AM โ Taken to Pilate, then Herod, then back to Pilate
8:00 AM โ Sentenced to death
9:00 AM โ Crucifixion begins
12:00 PM โ Darkness covers the land
3:00 PM โ Jesus dies
5:00 PM - Jesus laid in the tomb
โIt is finishedโ - Jesus
He did this all for you and me.
Sunday is coming.
I think we all need to be a bit honest with ourselves and take this route. A unified Body -founded on Jesus and built on all essential doctrine- is more important that squabbling over inessentials.
Iโm not too dogmatic about which Christian denomination is correct because I think weโre probably all doing it wrong in different ways.
Itโs a miracle of grace that Jesus accepts any of us at all.
Dear @chicagobulls,
I am a lifelong fanatical Bulls fan. Been to many games, bought your merch, and supported loyally through ups and downs.
Until today. My greatest loyalty is, as is Jaden's, to Jesus Christ and truth. And I am grateful to live in a nation that protects freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
Your violation of the first amendment--and, even more problematically, your ideologically selective while culturally amenable cancelling of a man who did nothing more than hold to his convictions--is a tragic capitulation to the spirit of the age.
I urge you to do the right thing and publicly apologize to Jaden, acknowledging the error of censoring a man for believing what Scripture says and what Jesus taught.
Respect, @JadensIV.

Holy Week begins with President Trump sharing the Gospel.
He posted the letter written to him by @Franklin_Graham declaring that Jesus is the only way to Heaven.
We have never had a President so pro-faith.
Dropping a little Palm Sunday Torah for you.
John tells us the exact day that the events of Palm Sunday occurred.
John 12:1: Therefore, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany...
Six days before Passover is Nisan 9.
John 12:12-13: On the next day... they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him...
This would be Nisan 10.
According to Torah, what occurs on Nisan 10?
Exodus 12:3: On the tenth of this month they are, each one, to take a lamb for themselves.
Yes, on the same day that the Passover lamb enters the Israelite houses, Jesus the Passover Lamb entered Jerusalem.
Happy Palm Sunday!
