🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know D-Day Edition: John J. Pinder Jr.

Technician Fifth Grade John J. Pinder Jr. landed on Omaha beach on his birthday. He didn’t make it off.

Born June 6, 1912, in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, Joe Pinder was the oldest of three children. His father worked in the steel industry.

He graduated as valedictorian of Butler High School in 1931.

Pinder spent the next several years as a right-handed pitcher in the minor leagues.

He played six seasons in the farm systems of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, and Brooklyn Dodgers.

In 1941 he won 17 games and was still chasing a shot at the major leagues when the war came.

He entered the Army in January 1942 after Pearl Harbor.

Assigned as a radio operator with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, he fought in North Africa and Sicily.

In Sicily he earned a Bronze Star for staying at an observation post under fire.

On June 6, 1944, Pinder landed with the first waves on Omaha Beach on his birthday.

Communications were shattered. His job was to get a working radio ashore.

He made it off the landing craft. They were 100 yards off the beach.

Then he was hit. A round tore into his face after only a few steps off the boat.

Pinder held the torn flesh of his face together with one hand, carried the radio with the other, and delivered the radio to his unit, while wading thru waste deep water.

That should have been enough. It wasn’t.

Weakened and bleeding, he turned around and went back into the surf and fire three more times to salvage communication equipment.

He even recovered another workable radio.

On the third trip machine gun fire hit him again, this time in the legs.

Still he kept going.

Weakening but exposed on the beach, he helped get the radios working so the men around him could call for support.

While doing so, he was hit for the third time and killed.

Medal of Honor. Posthumous.

It was presented to his father on January 26, 1945.

Pinder was initially buried in Normandy.

In 1947 his family brought him home to Grandview Cemetery in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.

He was the only professional baseball player awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II.

John Pinder is an American Badass

Thank you, John! 🫡🇺🇸

🚨 AWESOME! SecWar Pete Hegseth just REENLISTED Joey Jones to the Marine Corps

JONES: "I'm doing it because I have a debt left to give... It means the world to me to be here to finish the story that I started writing twenty-one years ago."

PATRIOT. 🇺🇸👏🏻

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

It took three times to get my common sense resolution stopping senators’ pay during government shutdowns through the Senate.

It’s a critical first step in ensuring that every senator has some skin in the game when they shut down the country.

It’s called shared sacrifice.

[James Woods @RealJamesWoods]

Let’s get it clear once and for all. It’s not about race, folks. That’s a Democrat trick. It’s about CULTURE. Am I a racist? Absolutely not. Am I a culturalist? Unequivocally, yes.

If you can’t assimilate to this culture, our values, our laws, and our traditions, get out.

🚨 UPDATE: Calls are ramping up to hold PARENTS accountable in the growing “youth” teen takeovers across the U.S. — in many instances, they’re INJURING and hospitalizing police officers

Start HAULING THEM IN and force them into getting their thugs under control!

Parents are responsible for their kids!

🚨 JUST IN: Ilhan Omar is flat out REFUSING to turn over documents to a Minnesota committee investigating the $250 MILLION Somali “Feeding Our Future” fraud

She is KNEE DEEP in this scandal, and DOJ needs to go after her HARD.

DO NOT let her get away with this!

Socialism is fertilizer for imbeciles.

Bill Maher: “Oh, big week for Kings… A weird week for Kings because King Charles of England was here. Spoke to Congress. Got a standing ovation from the people who were—used to be at the ‘No Kings’ rallies.”

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Hysterical.

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Our founding fathers never even considered the possibility that illiterate third world women would one day be shipped into this country and then elected to congress. We are discovering a method of national suicide that never entered the minds of the founders.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Excellent point

[Jimmy Failla @jimmyfailla]

She called it World War ELEVEN and this is why you should NEVER study history at the Quality LEARING Center.

[Dan Bongino @dbongino]

Shot, attacked, impeached on false charges, investigated for frivolous claims, maligned daily by the drive-by media, threatened by the world’s worst terrorists, and STILL moving forward.

That’s just straight up balls. 🔥🇺🇸
