A beautiful Memorial Day at Iowa Veterans Cemetery. Remembering our fallen heroes today and every day. We thank those who donned the uniform for their service. For those who did not come home, you will never be forgotten. Our freedoms remind us of your sacrifice. We honor you. 🇺🇸

Added note - when Jim Bunning retired, he was second in all-time career strikeouts behind Walter Johnson.

I worked with Jim Bunning for 13 years, and Scherzer is the sort of tough, workhorse pitcher Jim admired.

@EverybodyWinsIA Love That Dog by Sharon Creech is a favorite of mine to share with students.

@TimScottSC is nailing it. Lays it all out there / a great contrast of ideas and solutions. And right on the issues. Inspiring.

Looking forward to my good friend @TimScottSC giving the GOP response, and laying out a better vision for America! 🇺🇸

Interesting. Former ⁦@DrakeBulldogsMB⁩ center Liam Robbins enters the NCAA transfer portal. Maybe it’s too cold for him up there at ⁦@GopherMBB⁩.
