@UPS I hope you pay your customer service agents large sums of money. You have lying down to a science. My package has been in my town since the 14th and not delivered. Your excuse is it’s the weather. It’s been sunny, 45 degrees and dry roads.
@amazon this is the third driver that has torn up my yard and I’m still waiting for your response to the other two claims! Someone needs to get in touch with me asap! This is not acceptable!
This has to be the longest standing ovation for anyone or anything I have ever witnessed.
4000 high school students in Normandy, France standing to honor our World War II veterans.
This area in northern France has not forgotten the events of 80 years ago.
Honored and humbled beyond words to be here with my daughter volunteering with the @bestdefense_ supporting their mission to “take care of the ones who took care of us” assisting World War II veterans as they return to the sand and soil on which they fought.
9 August 1928 | Polish Jew, Samuel Beller, was born in the town of Oświęcim (the town known as Auschwitz in German).
During the war he was imprisoned in several labour camps for Jews and on 29 April 1944 he was registered in #Auschwitz.
Camp no. 184805.
He left Auschwitz in a death march and was later liberated by the US army.
Samuel is the only survivor of his family and turns 95 today. Join us & @ABMFusa in wishing him happy birthday.

On #WarriorWednesday, we honor Bob Hope for his half-century of USO tours during WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle East. He remains an endearing figure whose selfless giving will forever be remembered and serves as an inspiration to all, including @GarySinise.
“Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in aisle ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go.
Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car. Not one person stopped. Or looked. Or acknowledged him. I took him to his car and checked he was ok. He told me he had a fall and wasn’t sure how the air con worked in his car so he just didn’t use it. I sat with him, until his air con kicked in and heard him talk about the old frail body that he is in, that fails him now, every single day.
When you see an elderly person walking down the street, searching in the supermarket or struggling to their car, take a minute out of your busy schedule and ask them if they need a hand. Think about your grand parents and your parents and how pissed you would be if someone didn’t stop to help them. But more, think of them as you.
Once upon a time they were you. They were busy, they had work, they had children, they were able.... Today, they are just in an older body that is not going as fast as it used to and this busy life is confusing. They deserve our utmost respect and consideration. One day it will be you, it will be us. I wish more people gave a sh*t about them and acknowledged them for their admirable existence and geez I hope someday, not that far away, someone does it for me.”

How long has it been since you kissed your mother?
How long since you held her hand?
How long since you took the time and the trouble
To show her how straight you stand?
How long has it been since you’ve kissed her cheeks?
How long since you made her proud? -Kenny Rogers
