Don’t forget where you come from and why you do what you do.
The experiences and mindsets that have carried you to this point are part of the foundation of who you are.
Make sure 10 year old “you”would be proud of who they see in the mirror.
Godspeed, hero. Without the combined efforts of our WWII Veterans, our world could look a lot different today. Thanks be to all those who served in the Arsenal of Democracy.
With profound sorrow, we mourn the passing of one of America's Greatest Generation, WWII hero Ray Curtis, who has left us at the remarkable age of 109. Ray passed away peacefully at an assisted living facility in Minot, leaving behind a legacy that will never be forgotten.🕊️🇺🇸
Born on February 11, 1917, in Portal, North Dakota, Ray moved to Minot with his family in 1927 and graduated from Minot High School in 1935. He went on to answer his nation's call, serving with honor in the United States Army for five years, first as an enlisted soldier and later as a commissioned officer, including service overseas during one of history's darkest chapters.
Ray's life was a testament to courage, sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering patriotism. Across more than a century, he witnessed the world change in extraordinary ways, yet his legacy remained rooted in humility, duty, and love of country.
Today, we don't simply remember a veteran, we honor a hero whose service helped preserve the freedoms generations continue to enjoy. His story reminds us that true heroes never seek recognition; they earn it through selfless acts and steadfast devotion.
Thank you, Ray Curtis, for your extraordinary service, your sacrifice, and your lifetime of example. Your watch has ended, but your legacy will endure in the hearts of a grateful nation.
Rest in Peace, Sir. You will never be forgotten.
Remarkable long life wasn’t it?
@X@elonmusk "For You" has zero value to me. I just want to open my app and see a sequential timeline. Clean. Simple. Timely. What I follow is what I've decided is relevant to me. No algorithm will ever replicate that as accurately as I do.
Thank you for your attention.
@solohill@SoTrue86@Rowbear32@KOT4Q I think them hiring Dumars proves your point. Unserious organization.
IMO, the franchise was originally bought as a shelter against estate taxes and not tended to since then. Designed to be sold so the Saints could survive in NOLA after the Bensons were gone.
Sources: New York Knicks have tried feverishly to trade for New Orleans Pelicans center Yves Missi after losing Mitchell Robinson, but offers have been rejected multiple times. Pelicans view Missi as a vital core figure and the message is that he’s unavailable.
