This is the most detailed MRI scan of an unborn baby.
At just 20 weeks, she is moving, turning her head, kicking, even standing. Her beating heart is also visible.

Marvin Young was a Texas kid, born in Alpine and raised in Odessa, the youngest of three, who joined the Army in 1966. By August 1968 he was a 21 year old staff sergeant and squad leader in a mechanized infantry company of the 25th Infantry Division, out near the Ben Cui rubber plantation in Tay Ninh Province. This was in the middle of the enemy's August Offensive, and the North Vietnamese were out in force.
On August 21, 1968, his company was on a reconnaissance patrol when it walked into a North Vietnamese force estimated at regimental strength, maybe ten times their number. The first volley pinned the point element and killed the acting platoon leader in seconds. Into that gap stepped Marvin Young. He took command of the leaderless platoon on the spot, pushing men into a defensive line as a human wave attack rolled toward them, and he moved from position to position in the open, directing fire and steadying his men while enemy rounds cracked all around him.
When the order came to pull back to better ground, Young stayed behind to cover the withdrawal. Then he saw that a small group from the point squad was trapped, unable to get out. So he went after them, alone, firing as he moved across open ground toward their position. Halfway there a round tore into his head, a critical wound. He kept going anyway. He reached them and ordered them to withdraw, and stayed with the squad as it fought toward the rear, taking two more serious wounds, one that shattered his leg.
He could not walk now, and helping him would have slowed everyone down and gotten more men killed. So Marvin Young made his choice. He refused all assistance, ordered his comrades to keep going without him, and stayed where he was, firing to cover their escape, until the enemy force closed over his position. He bought their lives with his own. He was 21.
They gave Marvin Young the Medal of Honor for that last stand near Ben Cui, and buried him back home in Odessa, Texas. A squad leader who, on the worst day of his life, took command of men who had just lost their leader and then refused to leave a single one of them behind, even when it cost him everything.

Would be a shame if everyone in the area sees this!
It is a crime to knowingly allow noncitizens to vote in federal elections.
We have notified all 50 states of these federal election laws, and we @CivilRights Division @theJusticeDept will enforce them!
The power of X is real ๐จ
Raise your hand โ๏ธ if you agree with Elon Musk that Derek Chauvin should be freed from prison... his civil rights were violated
Let @AAGDhillon hear you... she will see this
I thought watching George Conway get destroyed in his primary would be the crown jewel of comedy, but then this fat doofus got his ass kicked by a Black communist chick with mental health issues.
Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder, therefore he should be freed.
The facts show that he was not the cause of death, nor did he at any time intend for a death to occur. Whatever else he may be, he is not a murderer.
That is the truth.
I wish these guys in the Mekong Delta could all expound on the hardships of Navy life on a modern aircraft carrier. Duenez, on the left, was severely injured in the legs, on his river assault boat, and medivaced to Japan. Billy Roy, holding the beer, was blown off the boat by a rocket propelled grenade. They didn't find his body for a day or two. Harris, with his arms crossed, was severely injured. I heard he was a paraplegic. Patrick Joseph "Grif" Griffin, my buddy, is sitting on the gun mount he was killed in, when a rocket basically blew him in half. They couldn't get his body out of the gun mount for some time, because of the combat, and his gun mount was tight quarters. I'm sure they would all prefer to be at sea for two or three hundred days.
