@SideswipeBuck @TonyGerdeman Yes, and ability to be able to stop and start. That’s huge. It’s one thing to be able to get to certain speed. It’s an entirely different thing to be able to command that speed on demand. Also, shows ability to be “patient” to wait for a block to develop.

@TonyGerdeman 2030 ?!? Goodness… seeing that typed out still feels like dialogue from a Sci-fi Tv/movie. Hard to believe that’s where we are.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

@DefiantLs I would gladly take Mr Huang on a tour of the many Nashville recording studios that are vacant and players that are not booked due to AI rendering the demo industry which has been the backbone of the recording industry, dead.

@TheChadWithrow I have been seeing friends post about praying for Bex and did not know the full context. Heartbreaking. Prayers for peace for her family.

[Dave Bechtel @davebechtel]

@PaulKuharskyNFL She raised the bar. Wish her much success in whatever is next for her.

[Dave Bechtel @davebechtel]

@steeleC22 Obviously, I did not play in those games so there is no way to really know how tough that was for you guys. I can only imagine. Brutal.

@MattWalshBlog I know that this is a “hot take” to get clicks but, you need to get out more. I could take you and your family on trips to multiple countries that would change your perspective. Lemme know and I’ll cook up an itinerary.

@DawnDavenportTN @rhendrix35 @3HL1045 The fact that she ran to 1st and not 3rd is actually a huge win at this stage. These are the best times. Enjoy!
