Tom Burnett called his wife Deena four times from Flight 93. By the third call, he had confirmed that two other planes had deliberately crashed into buildings. "I know we're going to die," he said. "Some of us are going to do something about it." He was a senior vice president at a medical device company. He was 38 years old, with three daughters under ten. He asked Deena to call the authorities and tell them everything. He was gathering information. Quietly organizing. His fourth call was brief. "We're going to rush the hijackers," he said. "I love you. I love the girls. I'll call you back." He never called back. Flight 93 crashed in a Pennsylvania field at 10:03 a.m. The Capitol building believed to be the target was spared. Tom Burnett's words have been quoted in congressional testimony, memorials, and national remembrances. And yet, for many Americans who visit the Flight 93 memorial, his name is new.Story based on historical records. This post is shared for educational purposes.
Your heart should breaking as you read this. Because you all need to realize something about Usha Vance Karoline Leavitt Jennifer Hegseth and Jeanette Rubio These four women right now are each carrying something that most people will never fully understand. Usha Vance pregnant with her fourth child baby boy coming in July and JD chose no formal leave. She is home. Alone. Counting the days. While her husband carries America. Karoline Leavitt who stood at the most powerful podium in America for 39 weeks pregnant never missed a single day. Came back to work four days after having baby Niko. And today holds baby Vivi knowing another briefing is always just around the corner. Jennifer Hegseth who holds seven children together every single time Pete boards that plane. Every deployment. Every trip. Every morning the kids ask where dad is. She answers. Alone. And Jeanette Rubio who has watched her husband cross three continents in one week away from her away from their children for a country that may never fully know her name.
Four women. Four completely different sacrifices. One identical truth. They never asked America to see them. They never posted about what it costs. They never once made it about themselves. They just held everything together. Quietly. Completely. So their husbands could hold America. And today we just need every American to stop for one moment. And say something these four women have waited too long to hear. Thank you. Not for your husbands. For you. For everything you carry that nobody films.
God cover Usha. Cover Karoline. Cover Jennifer. Cover Jeanette. And remind every one of them America sees you. Even on the days it forgets to say it. Make sure to repost this today. Because these women deserve to be seen.
Good Morning to all my MAGA friends π¨
Raise your hand βοΈ if you want the Boss to call Thune and ask him to step down today as Senate Majority leader
We need @realDonaldTrump to get involved... he will see this.. we can't let this go
John Thune is not cut out for this role
They threw boots at him in the barracks.
They called him a coward.
His commanding officer tried to have him removed from the Army.
Everyone was waiting for him to break.
He never did.
His name was Desmond Doss.
And he became one of the bravest soldiers in American history without ever carrying a weapon.
Doss was a devout Seventh-day Adventist who believed the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" was absolute.
When World War II began, he volunteered to serve.
But he refused to carry a rifle.
He refused to take a life.
His fellow soldiers couldn't understand it.
Many hated him for it.
They saw him as a burden.
A liability.
A man asking others to fight while he stood aside.
But Doss wasn't trying to avoid danger.
He volunteered as a combat medic.
He intended to run directly into it.
By 1944, he was serving in the Pacific.
Under fire in Guam and the Philippines, he repeatedly risked his life to rescue wounded soldiers.
The insults started fading.
The men who doubted him had seen what happened when bullets started flying.
Doss always ran toward the wounded.
Then came Okinawa.
The Maeda Escarpment.
A place soldiers called Hacksaw Ridge.
A 400-foot cliff defended by heavily fortified Japanese positions.
On May 5, 1945, a massive counterattack forced American troops to retreat.
Most made it down.
Roughly 75 wounded men did not.
They were stranded on top of the ridge.
Abandoned under enemy fire.
Desmond Doss stayed.
Alone.
Unarmed.
He found one wounded soldier and dragged him to the cliff edge.
Using a rope, he lowered him to safety.
Then he went back.
And found another.
And another.
And another.
Each time he prayed the same prayer:
"Lord, help me get one more."
For hours he moved through gunfire, artillery, and chaos.
One man at a time.
By the end of the night, he had rescued approximately 75 soldiers.
Single-handedly.
Without firing a shot.
Days later, a grenade exploded beside him.
Shrapnel tore through his body.
While waiting for evacuation, he saw another wounded soldier whose injuries were worse than his own.
So he gave up his stretcher.
Then a sniper's bullet shattered his arm.
Using the stock of a broken rifle as a splint, he crawled hundreds of yards to safety.
On October 12, 1945, President Harry S. Truman placed the Medal of Honor around his neck.
Doss became the first conscientious objector in American history to receive the nation's highest military award.
One of the men he saved on Hacksaw Ridge was Captain Jack Glover.
The same officer who had once tried to force him out of the Army.
Years later, Glover called Doss one of the bravest men he had ever known.
Desmond Doss died in 2006 at the age of 87.
He never carried a weapon.
He never fired a shot.
He never compromised what he believed.
And when everyone else was running down the ridge, he kept going back.
Just one more.
Then one more.
Then one more.

So my question is for every Karmelo Anthony supporter and every BLM activist who claims they care about Black lives:
Where is your outrage for these Black babies who were shot and killed?
Black children are being shot and killed in Chicago every single weekend.
