Hey @SouthwestAir what's the deal with another gate change at BWI. This time from A14 to C9. Amazing. Really from one end of the airport to the other nearly a mile walk. And only 25 mins before boarding. Guess AI didn't work to well today. #dissappointed
MIKE TIRICO’S ALL-TIME GREAT OLYMPICS SIGN-OFF:
“All the young people out there, those dreams are formed now. Go chase them, our country loves sports, it brings us together unlike anything else. And if you didn’t know that: you saw it in Team USA Hockey”
I’m a Marine, always will be. That part of me doesn’t change. But I’ll be honest, sometimes I stop and wonder if I could’ve endured what the troops of the Continental Army did in 1776.
Those men marched for miles without shoes, leaving blood in the snow. They wrapped rags around their feet and kept moving. No Gore-Tex, no medevac, no hot chow waiting at the end of the march.
They were hungry, constantly. Rations were scarce or nonexistent. Pay was late, sometimes never. Disease killed more men than British bullets. Smallpox, dysentery, typhus, sweeping through camps with no real medical care to stop it.
They slept in the open, in threadbare coats, through freezing rain and brutal winters. At places like Valley Forge, men froze at night and drilled by day. Muskets misfired in the cold. Powder went damp. Still, they trained.
They were farmers, blacksmiths, clerks, teenagers, fathers. No promise of victory. No guarantee the country they were fighting for would even exist. Just an idea, liberty, self-rule, something worth suffering for.
That was their secret weapon. Not superior arms. Not numbers. Resolve.
The willingness to endure misery without quitting.
As a Marine, I respect that on a deep level. We train hard. We suffer by design. But those men suffered because there was no other choice, and they stood anyway.
It humbles you.
It reminds you that the freedoms we inherit were paid for in blood, frostbite, hunger, and faith.
Different uniforms. Same spirit.
1776 didn’t just create a nation, it set the standard.
81 years ago today, the tank crew of “Cobra King” pose for a celebratory photo as the first tank to enter the Bastogne perimeter in relief of the 101st Airborne Division. 🪖
For no reason at all Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly shot-for-shot recreated David Bowie and Bing Crosby's "Little Drummer Boy" duet 😂 wait for the end
In accordance with his wishes, four-star Gen. George S. Patton Jr. was buried with his men at Luxembourg American Cemetery.
His grave site is carefully maintained by ABMC staff who carries the same maintenance routine every Friday morning.
They pay attention to details and ensure the horticultural elements and pavement surrounding his headstone are always in perfect conditions in honor of his service.

Warren Buffetts’s solution to end the US government shut down:
"I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that any time there’s a deficit of more than three percent of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."
Do you agree with him?
