Eight US military aircraft just roared over the National Mall. The flyover featured two B-52 Stratofortresses alongside the F-15 Eagle, F/A-18 Super Hornet, and F-35C Lightning II.
Tonight, U.S. Air Force aircraft soared over the nation’s capital in celebration of #Freedom250, honoring America’s 250th anniversary. 🇺🇸
Some moments are worth watching more than once... especially with your sound on!
"The enemy smelled our blood and thought we were prey. They forgot that a wounded animal is the most lethal. We tore that jungle apart to stay alive."
Major James Capers Jr stands as one of the greatest Recon Marines to ever do it. He enlisted in the Corps and fought his way into Force Recon where he became the leader of Team Broadminded. He completed more than 60 long range patrols and five major campaigns in Vietnam.
In 1967 near Phu Loc he was wounded 19 times while fighting a numerically superior enemy force. With broken legs, shrapnel across his body he refused evacuation until every Marine on his 9 man team was lifted out. His Silver Star citation states he continued to coordinate fire and movement under direct and indirect fire while suffering extreme blood loss.
That Silver Star, originally downgraded after his commander was kill*d and the Medal of Honor paperwork lost, is now being formally upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Capers was not only a mustang, he earned a battlefield commission in combat, a rare honor that speaks to the trust his Marines placed in him.
At eighty eight he remains a giant, a warrior who carried his team through hell and set the standard every Recon Marine still measures himself against.

As America approaches its #Freedom250 anniversary, military flyovers remain a powerful tradition—honoring the past, celebrating the present and inspiring future generations.

40 years ago today, Top Gun was released.
There’s something special about this opening theme. Every time I hear it, I get chills and emotional. No matter how many times I listen to it, that feeling never fades.
In honor of the 40th Anniversary re-release of Top Gun tomorrow, here's the "wrap photo" of the eight Tomcat crew who flew all of the aviation scenes in that movie...(I'm bottom right). Ultimate #TomcatTuesday 😎 LFG!
