THE DESTINATION IS IMPORTANT. BUT IT’S THE JOURNEY THAT MATTERS.

Reflective and appreciative. The plays. The people. The highs. The lows. The work. The moments in between. That’s where the magic resides.

My favorite part from @NavyFB Pro Day was all 32 NFL teams getting to witness “Evening Colors” at the @NavalAcademy.
Full stop to the drill. Standing in reverence.
A daily reminder these men & women are here to serve others.
They just happen to be some ballers too🏈

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.
A day that lives in infamy. December 7, 1941, changed America forever. We honor the 2,403 fallen at Pearl Harbor and the Sailors and Marines who refused to yield; the grit that forged a Fleet that still stands watch, ready and relentless.
When I earned my commission in the United States Navy, I swore an oath to defend the Constitution, and I lived that oath for 26 years. I flew reconnaissance missions during the Cold War, supported combat operations in Desert Storm, and advised senior leaders in Washington, London, and NATO on some of the toughest security challenges of our time. My service began rescuing Cubans fleeing Castro’s dictatorship, and it carried me across the Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, often into situations where failure meant certain death.
I’ve watched Soviet warships shadow us at sea. I’ve flown long, dangerous missions over unstable regions. I’ve strengthened America’s border security and used declassified space technology to help civilian agencies safeguard our nation and advance our scientific research. I’ve carried out humanitarian missions in Ukraine and seen firsthand the brutality of Putin’s authoritarian war.
So when I see Hegseth and Trump threaten military members of Congress, saying we should be arrested or killed for honoring their oath, I have one thing to say: I’d like to see you try.
We’ve faced adversaries far more dangerous, and far more competent than the two of you combined. Your desperation and ignorance reek of fear - and real soldiers can smell fear a mile away.
Our oath is our compass. Full stop.
On Saturday, @CBSSports will proudly present the 125th Army-Navy Game.
It’s a tradition that will continue for many years to come, following today’s announcement that CBS will remain the home of this historic and revered rivalry through 2038.
We wish a happy 100th birthday to President James Earl Carter, Jr. '47, and 39th President and Commander in Chief! President Carter’s legacy is forever cemented as the ultimate example of our mission to develop our nation’s leaders.
