Constitutional Conservative. I fly airplanes for a living; have been for over twenty five years now.

Things people say that will make me instantly put them on my moron list:
1. The moon landings were fake.
2. Jet fuel can’t melt steel.
3. The F-35 is a crap aircraft
4. Don’t fly Boeing
5. Contrails are evidence airplanes are chemically poisoning the atmosphere.

Final warning.

Helicopters don’t actually fly, they are such an abomination that the Earth repels them.

@Combat_learjet In high traffic areas (think approach for Class B) blocked is the simplest and most effective way to tell ATC that nobody knows what they said. It prompts them to repeat themselves and for everyone else to shut up. This controller is making the issue worse by having an attitude.

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

Never forget the sacrifice of so many on this day so many years ago. 🇺🇸🫡
