I ♥️ Sports and 🍺. I have my teams (Clev Browns, USC, Lakers, LA Kings)...but love a good debate. US Marine Dad - Support Our Troops 🇺🇸. Never Say Never.
Browns fans are up set we didn’t get multiple first round picks but we have a pro bowl player who is a good player with three draft picks not bad in my opinion
اثناء حفل التخرج صعد الطالب كايلن لاستلام شهادته، تفاجأ ان المعلمين لم يجدوها وهنا بدأ التوتر يظهر على وجه الطالب
بعدها بقليل اعلنوا انهم وجدوها في مكان اخر واتى شخص ليسلمها له ليكتشف ان كل هذا كان مدبر وان اخته الضابطة في الجيش اتت لتسلمه بعد غيابها لمدة سنة في خدمة خارج الوطن
Imagine this 19 year old kid hitting the beach and wading through the hell on Earth that was Iwo Jima, not knowing if he'd live another second. But he's made it to 2026 and his nation's 250th. And still a badass.
Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.
What happened next honestly caught me off guard.
By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.
For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.
I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.
But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.
After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.
Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.
This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.
And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸
At 100 years old, WWII veteran Bernie Smoot still drives his convertible Ford Mustang to play golf five days a week, shoots in the low 80s and shares wisdom from 74 years in the game: “You live to play golf. But to reach my age, you play golf to live.”
To celebrate Bernie — who landed at Omaha Beach just months after graduating high school — his PGA Coach and friend Jeff Maynor organized a tournament in his honor at the University of Maryland Golf Course, where Bernie plays five days a week.
Maynor, the course’s PGA Director of Golf, has run a @PGAHOPE program there for Veterans since 2019, which Bernie loves to support. The tournament for Bernie was a chance for those Veterans to thank him and celebrate his love for the game.
You can disagree with policy or politics or military decisions……… but it’s unforgivable to disrespect or hate the Soldier, Marine, Sailor, Airmen, Guardsmen, or their family!
God Bless our Troops! ❤️🫡🇺🇸
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
A WWII veteran returns to Utah Beach, the Normandy shore where D-Day unfolded. This Memorial Day, we remember the Americans who never came home, the heroes who gave everything so we could be free.
