In 1944, during the Battle of Saipan, U.S. Marine Marvin Strombo took a silk Japanese flag from the body of a fallen soldier named Sadao Yasue.
The flag was no ordinary souvenir. It was a Yosegaki Hinomaru, covered with handwritten messages from Sadao's family and friends, all wishing him a safe journey home.
Strombo carried it back to America, but he never thought of it as a trophy. Before leaving the battlefield, he made himself a quiet promise that one day, if he ever had the chance, he would return it to the family it belonged to.
Seventy three years later, at the age of 93, he flew nearly 10,000 miles to Japan and placed the flag into the hands of Sadao's younger brother.
It was the first belonging from Sadao that his family had seen since he left for war. His remains were never found.
For the Yasue family, it felt as though a part of their brother had finally come home.
A promise made on a battlefield in 1944 was finally kept in 2017, proving that even after decades of silence, one act of compassion can still bring peace to a family that never stopped waiting.
🚨✝️ 🇬🇧 ALERTE INFO : Elle a survécu à deux guerres mondiales mais hier dans la nuit du 28 au 29 juillet, l’église St Andrew’s à Leicester a brûlé
150 ans d’histoire, toit en cendres, cause officiellement « inconnue ».
Comme d’habitude.
Les églises s’enflamment la nuit.
Les autorités se taisent.
Et demain on nous accusera déjà d’amalgame si on ose seulement poser la question.
🗣️ Pourquoi toutes les églises d’Europe brûlent alors que les mosquées restent debout ? 🧐
Do you see our little brother in Christ ?
Such an innocent sweet babyboy♥️
Don't look away from him trying to wake up his mama not knowing she's unalived😭😭😭
They took her life for the same faith she grew up in and was going to teach her son.
I cannot imagine what he's seen or been through or if he witnessed his mother going to heaven💔
Thank you God somebody found him.
I'm so sorry he had to find his mama like this.
Humanity sucks 😞

I know Pastor Nuhad Hassan personally.
He is a Kurd from a Muslim background who converted to Christianity and led a church in Lebanon for over a decade.
On July 19, Pastor Nuhad went to Syria to visit his village, and on July 20 he was arrested by al-Julani’s government over posts he made during the Afrin massacre against the Kurds.
I just hung up the phone with friends and family members who are seriously concerned that he will be sentenced to death, the judges in Syria today are former ISIS jihadists, and they will sentence him according to sharia.
I will contact the members of Congress who support al-Julani and urge them to intervene for Pastor Nuhad’s release.
Please pray for him.
🇬🇧 En Reino Unido, un VALIENTE joven redujo a un delincuente africano que minutos antes había robado una tienda con un cuchillo, pero llegó una mujer al rescate del africano, y empezó a confrontar al joven por lanzarlo contra el piso. ¿Ahora entienden porqué UK está perdida?
A pair of teenage girls who brought a sign thanking Sophie Cunningham for defending women’s sports to Tuesday night’s game in Seattle were reportedly scolded and brought to tears by the Co-Owner of the Seattle Storm, Celeste Keaton. https://t.co/8nj8WYTxvB
The Seattle Storm didn’t actually apologize to the two young girls (one of them 16 years old) for their co-owner verbally abusing them…
They’re not actually sorry.
They endorsed Kamala Harris for president, have proceeds for merch go to body mutilation of minors, & allow political signs in the arena that support men in women’s sports.
The Seattle Storm is one of the worst, most vile organizations in sports.
I truly believe there is a safe space and love for EVERYBODY. Biological girls, biological boys, trans women, and trans men. Everyone is welcome at my table! You can disagree and still be kind.
Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe. You’ll be hearing from me soon💕 yay for gifts.
Truly embarrassing of the co-owner. Unfortunately shows the type of leader she is.
.@SecKennedy: "Anybody who questioned Dr. Fauci was like put off on an island—they were pariahs. The media every day was telling us, 'Trust the experts!' Well, he was the 'expert,' and we now know he was lying about everything."
Incredible stuff here after the terror attack in Paris earlier.
One short paragraph separates the confessed motive from "The motive for the attack remains unknown."
Living in Los Angeles during COVID was quite the trip.
Solo paddleboarders being arrested in Malibu w/ beaches closed and police patrolling the sand. Sand being poured into skate parks in Venice. An unelected, non-medical "Dr." Barbara Ferrer calling the shots. Banning OUTDOOR dining, including forcing restaurants to turn their TVs off - then later admitting they had no medical evidence to support it. Vaccine mandates to enter establishments. All while they were falsely inflating COVID-19 hospitalization data in local hospitals to justify the the panic, not differentiating who was hospitalized with COVID, or for COVID.
If you broke your leg and tested positive for COVID, even with no symptoms, you were counted as a COVID hospitalization in Los Angeles County.
Those numbers were used to impose the lockdowns and strict rules.
So many businesses never recovered.
Below are a couple photos of two memorable photos I snapped in Santa Monica in March 2020 when the beaches were closed - not a single person was on the sand despite being a beautiful day, and police were actively patrolling the area to make sure nobody was on the sand or in nearby parks. Crazy in hindsight.
The Islamic regime is preparing to hang 18-year-old Shervin Bagherian for participating in the January 2026 protests.
His family has just been called for a final visit. He has been moved into solitary confinement.
This kid is only 18.
DO NOT LOOK AWAY.
BREAKING: Another massacre by Muslim terrorists against Christians in Nigeria is being ignored by the media and world leaders.
Muslim terrorists continue displacing and slaughtering Christians. Over the past week, more than 60 Christians who could not escape were tortured to death.
Even those already shot were tortured, stabbed and mutilated as jihadists stormed the Christian village with machetes, seeking vulnerable victims to slaughter as human sacrifices for Allah.
They mutilated the victims’ bodies with machetes in pure satanic brutality designed to spread Islam and traumatize non-Muslims. Pregnant Christian women, children, babies and the elderly were shown no mercy.
This is how Islam has been spread across large parts of Asia and Africa—by the sword and by fear.
Do not forget the Christians of Nigeria. Keep them in your prayers.
Throughout the Holocaust, a group of non-Jews stepped up to save thousands of Jews from Nazi death camps, often at great personal risk.
Known as the Righteous Gentiles, Israel has recognized 27,362 such individuals.
Corrie ten Boom was one of them.
Did you know that when an inmate on death row is euthanized by lethal injection they use potassium chloride but they also use an anesthetic and paralyzing agent to ease the pain of the potassium chloride. If they didn’t do that the person would feel themselves being burned alive from the inside…so it is a bit of mercy.
Abortionists also use potassium Chloride directly into the hearts of babies they m*rder except they do not also use a paralyzing agent and anesthetic.
The death row murderer is shown more mercy than a little tiny *innocent* baby.
