@AMAZlNGNATURE Most people don't have anything of value to impart. I think that will probably go for most animals too.

@PhysInHistory How many of the men on the project are not household names? In any group there are standouts and lesser-knowns, regardless of gender.

@MacFarlaneNews Democrats weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth. Oh, the misery these people must endure from a man who loves his country so much that he has taken bullet, but never a paycheck. 😆

@michael_ne10935 @catsareblessing Yeah, cats and dogs are famous for a lack of hostilities between them. :-D

[Vincent van Gogh @vangoghartist]

In 1886, Van Gogh painted Skull with a Burning Cigarette while studying in Antwerp. A student prank turned memento mori—mortality lit with a flicker of dark humor. #artbots #vangogh

@FisherOMenMK117 @histories_arch What an asinine statement.

[Grady Philpott @PhilpottGrady]

@Synsation01 @histories_arch Proceeds from the sideshow funded the care for the babies. The article notes that the process was unconventional, but when medical science of the day offered no care at all, Couney's methods were lifesaving.

@nithgenga @archeohistories Even the oldest "boomers" were only fourteen years old in 1959, dumbass.

@michael90502322 @TheAtlantic @RadioFreeTom I served my time. USMC 67-71, RVN 68-69, WIA 2/23/69. What have you done in the service of your nation?

[Grady Philpott @PhilpottGrady]

@TheAtlantic @RadioFreeTom "The Atlantic" is such a disgraceful rag.

@PhysInHistory Science, but not necessarily scientists, must perforce be atheistic. Science is propelled by evidence, not faith.

Remembering Corporal Timothy J. O'Connor Jr. (1985–2026)
A 15-year veteran of the Pennsylvania State Police, devoted husband to Casey, loving father to their young daughter, and volunteer firefighter. On March 8, he was killed in the line of duty during a routine traffic stop in Chester County—shot while protecting our community.

Tim ran toward danger so others could be safe. His widow urged us to carry on his mission with integrity. Thousands honored him at his March 18 funeral.

Rest in peace, Corporal O'Connor. Thank you for your service. 💙🙏

Operation Iraqi Freedom began on March 20, 2003. The initial invasion of Iraq took 6 weeks, but U.S. forces would remain until 2011.

Army SPC Jan Sprague was a Veteran of OIF as well as the Gulf War. He passed away in 2025.

His mother, Robin, left the following tribute: “As a child Jan was very intelligent. He was athletic, he excelled in many sports. He was well liked by his peers. He had a great sense of humor. … He was kind to everyone, helping strangers without judgement. He was very proud of his military service. He was my hero, my son and my best friend.”

Sprague is laid to rest at Bay Pines National Cemetery.

You can leave a tribute to him or a Veteran important to you at VA’s online memorial. https://t.co/0ncLUy5i3B

Marc Alan Lee.
Born March 20, 1978
Would have been 48 today.
He sacrificed his life for us on August 2, 2006 in Ramadi, Iraq.
He was an incredible warrior.
And also a hilarious joker.
A son, a husband, a brother, a teammate, a friend.
Thanks for everything.
Miss you, bro.

In 2007, when Chuck Norris visited Marines in Western Iraq, he demanded to get away from large bases and instead visit the small FOBs and COPs. MNF-W said it would be too dangerous, but Norris insisted and in the end, got his way.

I'm forever grateful for the example he set, and this awesome choke hold.
