Our 250th Birthday is right around the corner, share this and also POST ur OWN stories!! Let's get this party started!!🥳🫶😻
Francis Scott Key was just a regular lawyer and part-time poet in 1814. He wasn’t even trying to write a national anthem… he was trying to get a friend out of a British prison ship, but what he witnessed that night changed everything!! Picture this, it’s the War of 1812 and the British have already burned Washington D.C. to the ground. Now they’re hammering Fort McHenry all night long with rockets and bombs. Key’s stuck on a ship, watching through the darkness, wondering if the American flag is still flying… or if we just lost everything. Then came the dawn… 🙏
The final tally of this year’s Commonwealth Clash:
Virginia 16
Virginia Tech 6
This is the largest margin of victory by either program in Clash history!
This year’s graduating class finished 58-29 against VT, doubling them up & sweeping all 4 Clashes.

A week after D Day, the beaches of Normandy were still filled with the scars of war.
Burned vehicles.
Shattered defenses.
And the memory of thousands of young soldiers who had fallen during the invasion.
Among the new arrivals stepping onto the sand was U.S. Army Nurse Leila Morrison.
She carried little more than a duffle bag and medical supplies.
Her mission was simple.
Save lives.
Army nurses like Morrison worked just behind the front lines, treating soldiers who had been wounded in some of the fiercest battles of World War II.
The conditions were harsh.
Long hours.
Limited supplies.
And a constant stream of wounded soldiers arriving from the battlefield.
But the nurses never stopped working.
Years later, Morrison remembered the moment she first walked across the beaches of Normandy.
She said:
"As we walked in that sand at Normandy, I couldn't help but think of all the boys, young boys that had given their lives. I felt like I was walking on sacred land."
For many soldiers, nurses like Leila Morrison were the difference between life and death.
She spent her life serving others.
And when she passed away one week after turning 100, her story remained a powerful reminder of the quiet heroes who saved lives during the war.
Not on the front line.
But just behind it 🙏🇺🇸🙏
We are deeply saddened by the passing of University of Virginia Faculty Athletics Representative and McIntire School of Commerce Professor Carrie Heilman.
She was an exceptional educator, trusted colleague, and a dear friend whose passion for family, higher education and athletics touched countless lives. We extend our love and prayers to the Heilman family during this difficult time.
This is the difference between hockey players and basketball players 🤯
No wonder why no one watches the NBA anymore
Jack Hughes is a freaking legend!! 🔥

President Trump heralded a seismic shift in the Middle East as he addressed the Israeli parliament on Monday, hours after the final 20 living hostages taken by Hamas were returned to Israel as the first phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire takes shape... https://t.co/lJK1YmLRtN
I’m not gonna share the viral video circulating of the girls gleeful over potential death of their activist mother‘s invented enemies. It’s disgusting. It’s child abuse. The only time those little girls feel love is when they’re echoing their vile, narcissistic mother’s slop.
The reason why democrats are attacking us so much is b/c they realize power is slipping away.
When we flip Pennsylvania from 🟦🔜🟥 — b/c we will — they will completely lose their minds.
I speak into existence that we will achieve a plurality of Republicans in Pennsylvania.
