🚨 Day 5 of 30 American Heroes in 30 Days — countdown to July 4!
Master Sergeant Roy P. Benavidez
On May 2, 1968, this Green Beret volunteered for a rescue mission in Cambodia. He fought off waves of enemy soldiers for six hours, sustained 37 bullet & bayonet wounds, saved at least 8 men, recovered classified documents — and was presumed dead twice.
In 1981, President Ronald Reagan presented him the Medal of Honor, saying his actions were beyond belief.
A true American warrior who embodied the American spirit of courage and never quitting. 🇺🇸

🇮🇱 Medical breakthrough in Israel:
An 8-month-old baby became the first person in the world to receive an experimental gene therapy delivered directly into the brain to treat a devastating genetic disorder.
The pioneering treatment, carried out at Clalit-Schneider Children's Medical Center, was the result of an extraordinary collaboration between Jewish and Arab Israeli medical professionals, researchers, and biotech innovators.
A remarkable story of innovation, cooperation, and hope.

In 2012, CNN interviewed D.C. residents about Obama's $34 million renovation of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which left it dirty, smelly, and filled with algae.
"It's disgusting!"
"It smells like wet dog down here. It's gross!"
The project took 2 years by the way.
Americans don’t want Big Brother controlling our cars, tracking our money, or spying on our lives.
If Congress is going to renew FISA, then we must enact meaningful changes. #DontSpyOnMe@RepKeithSelf
If the government can spy on Members of Congress without a warrant, they can spy on you too.
Reform FISA. Get a warrant. No more backdoor searches.
DON’T SPY ON ME!

🚨 Day 2 of 30 Heroes in 30 Days — countdown to July 4!
The Bedford Boys of Virginia. From a town of just 3,200, 37 young men of Company A, 116th Infantry landed in the first wave on Omaha Beach, D-Day. 19 died within minutes.
One shining example: 1st Lt. Jimmie W. Monteith Jr. (Medal of Honor) repeatedly exposed himself to murderous fire, rallied scattered troops, and guided tanks through a minefield under hellish artillery and machine guns. He was killed that day.
They stormed the beaches to liberate a continent & never asked for riches or glory — the only land they asked for was a place to bury their dead.
Brothers. Neighbors. Virginians. Heroes. 🇺🇸
