Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.

5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.

Then he turned around and went back in.

A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.

But he didn't stop there.

He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.

He did this for hours without stopping.

His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.

He survived the war.

His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.

5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.

Remember him.

@EchoesofWarYT Amazing story. Need to read his book now.

An MLB player tosses a ball to a kid wearing his jersey.

The kid makes the catch… then hands it to his little sister and gives her a hug. How can you not love baseball

[Bill Radjewski | CollegeFootballData.com @CFB_Data]

Michigan didn’t just win the title… they ran through everyone.

• Beat all 3 Final Four teams
• 6 of 7 Elite Eight teams
• 9 of 15 Sweet Sixteen teams

This is an absurd tournament résumé.

FBI agents have to retire at 57, air traffic controllers at 56, and pilots at 65. But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.

Parents who allow their kids to be coached hard are giving them a gift most young people today never receive — accountability.

🚨🇦🇪🇺🇸 Prominent UAE billionaire Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor just published an open letter to Trump. It's brutal.

"Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield?"

Al Habtoor's a major figure: billionaire, former diplomat, outspoken political voice in the Gulf. When he talks, UAE leadership's listening.

His questions:

* Was this your decision or Netanyahu's pressure?
* Did you calculate collateral damage before firing?
* You placed GCC countries at the heart of danger they didn't choose
* Your "Board of Peace" initiatives were funded by Gulf states. Now we're getting attacked. Where did that money go?
* You promised no wars. You've conducted operations in 7 countries: Somalia, Iraq, Yemen, Nigeria, Syria, Iran, Venezuela
* 658 airstrikes in your first year back = Biden's entire term (which you criticized)
* War costs $40-65 billion for operations, possibly $210 billion total
* Your approval rating's down 9% in 400 days
* Americans were promised peace. They're getting war funded by their taxes

The sharpest line: "Before the ink has dried on your Board of Peace initiative, we find ourselves facing military escalation that endangers the entire region. So where did those initiatives go?"

Al Habtoor's not some random critic. He's establishment. Connected. When UAE elites start publicly questioning Trump's decision-making, that's America's closest Arab allies saying "we didn't sign up for this."

The letter ends: "True leadership is not measured by war decisions, but by wisdom, respect for others, and pushing toward achieving peace."

NBA fans all over the world, I hope you didn’t miss the Detroit Pistons Superstar Cade Cunningham’s performance against the New York Knicks last night. He put on a show scoring 42 points, 13 assists and 8 rebounds!

Cade scored from everywhere on the court - three point, the midrange jumper and he was driving it to the basket. He may have had the play of the year when he dunked on three Knicks with his left hand!

[Bob Henry @bobhenry]

New sheriff in town. Cade does it all.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

OTD (1980), the Pacers ran a promotion saying that everyone in the arena would get free chicken if they held George Gervin to under 30 points.

The Iceman scored 25 at the half & yelled "No chicken tonight" to the crowd on his way to 55

@Jaberuski No regerts

@UtahPigBus Well done. Michigan likely had a few logs on the fire given the impact and timeline with the transfer portal and NIL. The agent contact makes total sense. Whittingham is an excellent outcome for Michigan... especially so given the timing and circumstances involved.

[Bob Henry @bobhenry]

@sbell021 I can't imagine Michigan hiring a more competent coach than Willingham at this point. Intrigued by Glenn Schumann.
