#OTD 73 years ago, the guns fell silent on the Korean Peninsula.
On July 27, 1953, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, bringing an end to over three years of relentless fighting that began when North Korean forces invaded across the 38th parallel on June 25, 1950.
Among the tens of thousands of Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice, 47 Marines and Navy Corpsmen were awarded the Medal of Honor for extraordinary heroism under fire.
Today, their sacrifice endures in the strength of South Korea's vibrant democracy and the unbreakable U.S.-ROK alliance. As President Dwight D. Eisenhower reflected, the armistice brought "free peoples one step nearer to their goal of a world at peace."
We remember their valor. We honor their sacrifice.

@ShemuelFjb47won@Notwokenow Feeling sorry that someone’s life may become harder doesn’t automatically mean they should be exempt from the legal consequences of their immigration status.
A G7 photo op has turned into a full-blown international spat.
President Trump slammed Italian PM Giorgia Meloni after she publicly sounded off, rejecting his claims that she repeatedly asked for a photo with him, calling his comments "completely made up."
"There is one thing he should remember: neither I nor Italy ever beg," Meloni added.
Trump accused Meloni of wanting to be friends again after the U.S. military victory over Iran and suggesting she was trying to boost her political standing at home.
His response ended with a blunt message: "No thanks!"

I can’t believe I witnessed history in the making today. Major Capers and Colonel Ripley are exceptional Marines who did extraordinary things under impossible circumstances. Semper Fidelis!
There’s a model in Memorial Hall at the Naval Academy of Col John Ripley climbing under a bridge to set explosives under heavy fire. I always wondered why he didn’t receive the Medal of Honor.
Decades later, I watched POTUS right this wrong. I’m proud to have a small part of this.

In an amazing White House ceremony, Donald Trump awarded the Medal of Honor to retired James Capers Jr. an 88-year-old Marine veteran whose extraordinary actions during the Vietnam War finally received the nation's highest military recognition.
For decades, fellow Marines, veterans, and supporters argued that Capers' actions merited the MOH. Nearly six decades later, that recognition finally arrived, making the ceremony both a tribute to one man's bravery and a reminder that true heroism never expires.
K-9 Dundee served with unwavering courage, loved unconditionally, and gave everything to protect those around him. The pain of his loss is immeasurable, but so is the legacy he leaves behind.

"The enemy smelled our blood and thought we were prey. They forgot that a wounded animal is the most lethal. We tore that jungle apart to stay alive."
Major James Capers Jr stands as one of the greatest Recon Marines to ever do it. He enlisted in the Corps and fought his way into Force Recon where he became the leader of Team Broadminded. He completed more than 60 long range patrols and five major campaigns in Vietnam.
In 1967 near Phu Loc he was wounded 19 times while fighting a numerically superior enemy force. With broken legs, shrapnel across his body he refused evacuation until every Marine on his 9 man team was lifted out. His Silver Star citation states he continued to coordinate fire and movement under direct and indirect fire while suffering extreme blood loss.
That Silver Star, originally downgraded after his commander was kill*d and the Medal of Honor paperwork lost, is now being formally upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Capers was not only a mustang, he earned a battlefield commission in combat, a rare honor that speaks to the trust his Marines placed in him.
At eighty eight he remains a giant, a warrior who carried his team through hell and set the standard every Recon Marine still measures himself against.
