Matthew Stanford Robison passed away at the tender age of 10 after a life marked by severe disabilities, including cerebral palsy that left him blind, mostly paralyzed & confined to a wheelchair.
His father, Ernest Robison, crafted this poignant bronze memorial statue to capture the joyful moment of his son’s release into the afterlife, rising triumphantly from his wheelchair, one foot planted on the seat, arms outstretched toward the sky, finally free from earthly limitations & burdens.
This touching tribute transforms grief into a powerful symbol of hope, healing & eternal freedom.

New York Army Helicopter Repairer Specialist Five Karl William Titus was killed in a huey crash on October 2, 1970 Karl was 20 years old with 68th AHC. Remember Karl today. #American Hero.🇺🇸🦅
Today is October 2nd and New York City has forgotten 9/11 but we never will! There is the North Tower standing alone without its famous twin and its still so hard for me to believe that only two and a half hours before my mother had gotten to work and was due to go on vacation in only 5 days. If New York City doesn't want to remember her and all the others killed that day we will stand up for them!
His name was Calvin Graham, and in 1942, while most 12-year-olds were worrying about school, he was preparing for war. He deepened his voice, memorized a fake birthdate, forged his mother’s signature, and somehow managed to enlist in the U.S. Navy at just 12 years old. By November, he was aboard the USS South Dakota in the Pacific, facing one of the bloodiest naval battles of World War II. During the Battle of Guadalcanal, Japanese fire tore through the ship. Graham was wounded by shrapnel, but instead of seeking safety, he dragged injured sailors away from the flames and wreckage, helping save the lives of men twice his size.
Then his secret was exposed. Graham’s sister, terrified for her younger brother, informed the Navy that he was only 12. His enlistment was terminated, his military recognition was stripped, and he was denied the benefits normally available to veterans. He returned home as a wounded combat veteran whose government officially refused to acknowledge his service. For decades, Graham struggled with the physical and emotional consequences of what he had endured while fighting a bureaucracy that treated his service as if it had never happened.
In 1978, President Jimmy Carter signed legislation restoring Graham’s Purple Heart, but full recognition came only after years of fighting for it. Graham died in 1992 at the age of 62. He had lied about his age and broken military rules—but he had not faked the wounds, the battle, or the lives he helped save. Calvin Graham was a child who went to war when he should have been in school, and his story remains a reminder that courage can come from the most unexpected places. Whatever the circumstances of his enlistment, his name deserves to be remembered.
Nine years ago, Christopher Ruiz was killed in a plane crash in Afghanistan... We will never forget the sacrifice that he made for us and our freedom... 🇺🇸
I have undertaken this project to put a face to 9/11 by posting a photo of everyone killed that day. If after everything that happened you can vote for the ideology that brought it about it's as if you are killing them yourself! Pictured below was 25 year old Dominick Berardi who was a municipal bond broker with Cantor Fitzgerald in the North Tower. He was living with his family in whitestone, New York and an intersection near the their home was renamed in his honor. He was said to be a loving and caring person and to forget even a single one of these people is a blasphemy!

A car carrying a father and his two sons crashed into a canal and flipped over.
The car began filling with water, and the 4-year-old was still strapped into his seat.
A bystander named Jose Diaz saw what happened and dove in after them.
Jose tried to free the boy, but he couldn’t get him out. So he held the boy’s head above water for nearly thirty minutes until rescuers arrived.
An officer finally cut through the car’s seat belt and pulled him free. His father and older brother were rescued safely as well.
That 4-year-old boy is alive because a complete stranger saw what was happening, jumped into the water and refused to leave him.
So let’s share this story and give Jose Diaz the recognition he deserves.
Master Sgt. Mark Allen was shot in the head by a sniper in July 2009 while searching for Bowe Bergdahl, who walked off his post in Afghanistan.
His wife Shannon later told a military court: “We can’t hold hands anymore, unless I pry open his hand and place mine in it.” He couldn’t walk. He couldn’t speak. She became his caregiver. He died in 2019 from those wounds, at 46.
Bergdahl got a dishonorable discharge and no prison time. Obama traded five Taliban commanders to bring him home.
Remember the man who went looking for a missing soldier. Not the one who left.
🚨BREAKING: Supreme Court just handed Trump the immigration equivalent of a nuclear button.
In a 5–4 ruling, they confirmed he can use the 1798 Alien Enemies Act to treat Tren de Aragua as what it is: an invading foreign force.
That means:
• No more endless appeals
• No more activist judges blocking deportations
• Venezuelan gang members can be rounded up and shipped straight to El Salvador’s mega-prison
This is a historic win for borders, sovereignty and law & order in the United States.
The only people upset today are the open-borders globalists who never thought this day would come.
