With profound sorrow, we mourn the passing of one of America's Greatest Generation, WWII hero Ray Curtis, who has left us at the remarkable age of 109. Ray passed away peacefully at an assisted living facility in Minot, leaving behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.🕊️🇺🇸
Born on February 11, 1917, in Portal, North Dakota, Ray moved to Minot with his family in 1927 and graduated from Minot High School in 1935. He went on to answer his nation's call, serving with honor in the United States Army for five years, first as an enlisted soldier and later as a commissioned officer, including service overseas during one of history's darkest chapters.
Ray's life was a testament to courage, sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering patriotism. Across more than a century, he witnessed the world change in extraordinary ways, yet his legacy remained rooted in humility, duty, and love of country.
Today, we don't simply remember a veteran, we honor a hero whose service helped preserve the freedoms generations continue to enjoy. His story reminds us that true heroes never seek recognition; they earn it through selfless acts and steadfast devotion.
Thank you, Ray Curtis, for your extraordinary service, your sacrifice, and your lifetime of example. Your watch has ended, but your legacy will endure in the hearts of a grateful nation.
Rest in Peace, Sir. You will never be forgotten.
Remarkable long life wasn’t it?
It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of retired Army Ranger John M. Collett. John's life was defined by service, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to others.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to John's family, Ranger brothers and friends.
They were never legitimately elected, they were installed in collusion with our foreign enemies. They stole the election and did everything they could to destroy our Country in 4 years.
Today just breathe, let go, and be open to
things being easier and more
magical than you could ever
imagine. Those who flow as the
Universe flows, know they need
no other force. Align with the
cosmos. Let the magic happen.
Honoring an American Hero: Medal of Honor Recipient Colonel Gordon Ray Roberts
Today, we proudly honor and celebrate the remarkable life, courage, and unwavering service of Colonel Gordon Ray Roberts, one of only 61 living Medal of Honor recipients.
During fierce combat operations in the Vietnam War, then-Sergeant Gordon Ray Roberts demonstrated extraordinary valor that would forever be etched into American military history. As his platoon became trapped under devastating enemy fire, Roberts fearlessly charged toward a fortified enemy bunker, firing continuously as he advanced. He eliminated the two-man position and, without pausing, pressed forward to neutralize two additional enemy bunkers.
Separated from his own platoon in the heat of battle, Roberts continued his relentless assault, attacking a fourth enemy emplacement before reaching a neighboring company that had also become pinned down. Undeterred by the relentless hail of enemy fire, he risked his own life to aid wounded soldiers and continued fighting until he successfully rejoined his unit.
His extraordinary courage, selfless determination, and unwavering devotion to his fellow soldiers saved countless lives and played a decisive role in defeating enemy forces. Rising through the ranks to become a Colonel, Gordon Ray Roberts remains a living testament to the highest ideals of honor, sacrifice, and service to the nation.
Today, we salute Colonel Gordon Ray Roberts for his extraordinary heroism and thank him for a legacy that continues to inspire generations of Americans.
