@JesseRogersESPN What’s wrong with deferred $$? If I were a pro athlete I’d want to defer some and not risk spending it foolishly. Of course you could probably buy an annuity too , I guess .

@BonnerWendell @UntoldWarFacts He received the DSC according to Wikipedia .

@OleTimeHardball I have to say so due to the fact that he didn’t have Performance enhancing drugs, an advanced metric team advising him , and he lost 5 prime years to the military. While not the most power in terms of HRs for Lefties , still the best overall!

On April 20, 1999, the Columbine High School shooting changed America. Thirteen lives were lost. Hundreds were wounded. And one student who walked out of that school that day made a promise to himself — a promise so specific, so personal, that it shaped every single decision he made for the rest of his life. Two months later, he walked into a Navy recruiter's office.
His reason, in his own words: "No one will ever suffer because I didn't know what to do." His name was Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class Charles "Luke" Milam. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and raised in Littleton, Colorado — he graduated from Columbine High School in May 1999. In June 1999, at 18 years old, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy.
The tragedy he witnessed did not break him. It built him into something extraordinary. He began his career as a Hospital Corpsman and then pushed toward one of the most demanding qualifications in the entire naval special operations community — Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman, known as SARC.
A SARC is a Navy Corpsman who completes both Marine Recon and special operations training on top of their medical qualification — giving them the ability to operate as a fully capable special operator and combat medic simultaneously. Luke Milam earned that qualification and was assigned to the 2nd Marine Special Operations Battalion under MARSOC.
He served three consecutive combat tours in Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom before deploying to Afghanistan. In 2006, he was named the MARSOC Operator of the Year — recognized across the entire command for his performance as both a warrior and a medic. He held a black belt in the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. His fellow Marines called him "Cool Hand Luke" — because under direct fire, he never once lost his composure. He was the man everyone wanted beside them when things went wrong.
On September 25, 2007, during a motorized combat patrol with Golf Company in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, his vehicle was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade. Luke Milam made the ultimate sacrifice in that moment.
Four other personnel were wounded. He was posthumously recognized as the MARSOC Medic of the Year for 2007 — an honor that speaks to who he was in his final deployment. He rests with full military honors at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Denver, Colorado.
In March 2010, the U.S. Marine Corps dedicated the Charles Luke Milam Clinic at MARSOC Headquarters at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina — a state-of-the-art medical facility named in his honor, treating the very operators he once served beside.
He made a promise at 18 years old — standing in the shadow of one of the darkest days in American history — that no one would ever suffer because he was unprepared. He spent the next eight years making sure of it. Three tours in Iraq, one in Afghanistan.
MARSOC Operator of the Year. "Cool Hand Luke." A man so calm under fire that the most elite Marines in the world trusted him completely. A clinic at Camp Lejeune carries his name. Every service member treated inside those walls is a continuation of the promise he made at 18. Story based on historical records and shared for educational remembrance.

@TJTheWheelDeal Long BMNR but a little frayed - don’t expect retirement $$ tomorrow, but it seems that the tokenized 24/7 story isn’t being recognized by the street .

Today on June 18, President Trump will award the Medal of Honor to retired Recon Marine Major James Capers Jr. for his heroism during a 1967 ambush in Vietnam.

Major Capers was shot twice and suffered 17 shrapnel wounds and other injuries during the April 1967 ambush.

Not only did Capers lead his team to safety, but he twice tried to get out of the helicopter carrying the rest of his teammates so that it would be light enough to take off, and had to be pulled back inside by his men.

Major Capers is the first Black Marine to lead a reconnaissance company and to receive a battlefield commission.

The 1967 ambush began when hidden explosives detonated. Capers suffered shrapnel wounds to his abdomen and other parts of his body and a broken leg. Despite his wounds, he ordered a mortar strike on the team’s position to keep the enemy at bay.

Then, even after losing a significant amount of blood and being administered morphine, he led his team to a helicopter landing zone. When a helicopter landed, Capers refused to get on board unless the crew took the body of the team’s military working dog.

Capers was originally awarded the Bronze Star with “V” device for his heroism, which was upgraded to the Silver Star in 2010.

Good morning Beautiful People.

Today I give special shout out and coffee toast to all the Badasses of the United States Navy Hospital Corps.

The United States Navy Hospital Corps was established on this day in 1898. Signed into law by President William McKinley, it was created to professionalize naval medicine and provide formal medical training to enlisted Sailors before the impending Spanish-American War.

The Hospital Corps Pledge

-I solemnly pledge myself before God and these witnesses to practice faithfully all of my duties as a member of the Hospital Corps.
-I hold the care of the sick and injured to be a privilege and a sacred trust and will assist the Medical Officer with loyalty and honesty.
-I will not knowingly permit harm to come to any patient.
-I will not partake of nor administer any unauthorized medication.
-I will hold all personal matters pertaining to the private lives of patients in strict confidence.
-I dedicate my heart, mind, and strength to the work before me.
-I shall do all within my power to show in myself an example of all that is honorable and good throughout my naval career.

Our history is rich. Never forget the ones who came before us.

With 23 Medals of Honor, 179 Navy Crosses since World War I, 31 Navy Distinguished Service Medals, 959 Silver Stars, and more than 1,600 Bronze Star Medal's with Combat "V's for heroism since World War II.

Twenty naval ships have been named after hospital corpsmen.

🇺🇸World War I: 17 corpsmen were killed in action or died of wounds.
🇺🇸World War II: 889 corpsmen were killed, including 332 who died during the 36-day Battle of Iwo Jima.
🇺🇸Korean War: Over 109 corpsmen were killed in action.
🇺🇸Vietnam War: 645 corpsmen died in combat operations.
🇺🇸Beirut Barracks (1983): 15 corpsmen were among the 241 U.S. personnel killed in the terrorist bombing.
🇺🇸Iraq and Afghanistan: Forty-two (42) U.S. Navy Hospital Corpsmen were killed in action.

Whether onboard U.S. Ships, Fleet Marine Force Units, Shore Commands, Aviation Squadrons, Special Operations Command, Dive Units, The White House, Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, or any of the other many places...

Happy 128th Birthday.
