Freedom isn’t free.

Years ago, I was watching Saving Private Ryan in a theater when, during the opening D-Day battle scene, an elderly man sitting in front of me suddenly shouted to his friend:

“This is just like when we were there.”

After the movie was over, I asked them if they had indeed fought in D day and they had. In fact, one had lost his younger brother that day in that gruesome battle.

In an instant, history became personal.

Their sacrifice filled my heart with gratitude.

In an even greater way, when we fix our eyes on the cross of Christ, we are reminded of the greatest battle ever fought. At Calvary, Jesus faced sin, death, and hell itself. not for His sake, but for ours.

The freedom we enjoy as Americans was purchased by the sacrifice of brave men and women. This for all
Americans is a reminder to be thankful of our American citizenship.

On a grander scale, the freedom we enjoy as Christians was purchased by the sacrifice of the Son of God. This for all Christians is a reminder to be thankful for our eternal citizenship.

D-Day changed the course of history.

Calvary changed eternity.

May we never take either for granted.

@PeteHegseth @DeptofWar Stop tweeting and start actually doing something about this.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@realDonaldTrump @POTUS @AGPamBondi - your AG screwed this up and let Comey walk now the statute of limitations are up. What a colossal screw up.

[General Mike Flynn @GenFlynn]

I’m certain others will have their opinions but mine is not an opinion, it is based on hard evidence.

@realDonaldTrump should hire @SidneyPowell1 as the Attorney General immediately. I’m sorry @AGPamBondi but this was completely avoidable.

As for @Comey don’t think it’s over. And you know it! You committed crimes against our country.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@POTUS @realDonaldTrump @DonaldJTrumpJr - R’s better be focusing on all of these issues or you will lose badly and the last 2 years of your administration will be fighting the D’s multiple impeachment attempts.

[DC_Draino @DC_Draino]

Top 5 things the Trump admin needs to do before midterms to win:

1. Release all the Epstein Files and arrest the pedos. I don’t think they realize how big of a deal this is. Can’t keep dragging it out. Full info dump. Mass arrests.

2. Create a historic housing affordability program. Not 50 year mortgages - we need major changes that benefit young buyers and piss off mega banks. Ban BlackRock from buying up all the homes.

3. Mass deportations that are actually mass deportations. At least 3+ million deported before November. Way too slow right now.

4. Bring food prices down. I know we stopped the bleeding with rising inflation, but now we need prices to actually come down.

5. Prosecute election fraud and Deep State. Progress is WAY too slow on that front.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@JDVance You all better start looking at @potus domestic agenda while driving the fact that our party cares about affordability for the younger generations. If not, your toast. The young people will flock to more Marxist like the idiot in NY.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@julie_kelly2 @zuzupetals09 What does this mean for the statute of limitations?

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@realannapaulina All you all know how to do is write letters while the dems were jailing people for the exact same thing. It’s time for equal justice under the law. It’s beyond time for people to be held accountable!

"My name's Raymond. I'm 73. I work the parking lot at St. Joseph's Hospital. Minimum wage, orange vest, a whistle I barely use. Most people don't even look at me. I'm just the old man waving cars into spaces.
But I see everything.

Like the black sedan that circled the lot every morning at 6 a.m. for three weeks. Young man driving, grandmother in the passenger seat. Chemotherapy, I figured. He'd drop her at the entrance, then spend 20 minutes hunting for parking, missing her appointments.

One morning, I stopped him. "What time tomorrow?"
"6:15," he said, confused.
"Space A-7 will be empty. I'll save it."
He blinked. "You... you can do that?"
"I can now," I said.

Next morning, I stood in A-7, holding my ground as cars circled angrily. When his sedan pulled up, I moved. He rolled down his window, speechless. "Why?"
"Because she needs you in there with her," I said. "Not out here stressing."
He cried. Right there in the parking lot.

Word spread quietly. A father with a sick baby asked if I could help. A woman visiting her dying husband. I started arriving at 5 a.m., notebook in hand, tracking who needed what. Saved spots became sacred. People stopped honking. They waited. Because they knew someone else was fighting something bigger than traffic.
But here's what changed everything, A businessman in a Mercedes screamed at me one morning. "I'm not sick! I need that spot for a meeting!"

"Then walk," I said calmly. "That space is for someone whose hands are shaking too hard to grip a steering wheel."

He sped off, furious. But a woman behind him got out of her car and hugged me. "My son has leukemia," she sobbed. "Thank you for seeing us."

The hospital tried to stop me. "Liability issues," they said. But then families started writing letters. Dozens. "Raymond made the worst days bearable." "He gave us one less thing to break over."

Last month, they made it official. "Reserved Parking for Families in Crisis." Ten spots, marked with blue signs. And they asked me to manage it.

But the best part? A man I'd helped two years ago, his mother survived, came back. He's a carpenter. Built a small wooden box, mounted it by the reserved spaces. Inside? Prayer cards, tissues, breath mints, and a note,

"Take what you need. You're not alone. -Raymond & Friends"
People leave things now. Granola bars. Phone chargers. Yesterday, someone left a hand-knitted blanket.
I'm 73. I direct traffic in a hospital parking lot. But I've learned this: Healing doesn't just happen in operating rooms. Sometimes it starts in a parking space. When someone says, "I see your crisis. Let me carry this one small piece."

So pay attention. At the grocery checkout, the coffee line, wherever you are. Someone's drowning in the little things while fighting the big ones.

Hold a door. Save a spot. Carry the weight no one else sees.
It's not glamorous. But it's everything."

Let this story reach more hearts....

@Jim_Jordan Question is…what are you going to do about it? Send strongly worded letters or actually hold these people accountable?

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@GOPoversight @RepJamesComer All you guys do is write letters. When will there be real accountability?

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@realDonaldTrump Sir, with all due respect you are wrong on this issue.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@allenanalysis They need 60 votes. Which means the Dems are blocking the CR.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@janekleeb Funny how you forget how bad inflation was during the Biden years. Increased cost is baked in at this point.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@MikeNellis Holy cow see what the 1A allowed. Not possible if we truly had a king.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@RBReich What’s a stake is this is a dem lead decision to end COVID era subsidies to prop up this failing monstrosity by EOY. This is a dem problem and always has been a dem problem. The ACA is a total failure.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@ThrillaRilla369 14

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@hissgoescobra This type of garbage starts in the home.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@cwebbonline The expiring subsidies had to do with COVID. The dems set them to expire at the end of this year. Rs had nothing to do with that. Not to mention the only way for this crap legislation to work is by continually bailing it out with subsidies. Proof it’s a colossal failure.

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@DoctorHenryCT My guess is you aren’t a believer to begin with. My relationship with God has nothing to do with broken human beings. For you to say you don’t believe in God b/c of another broken human being is sad and crazy. Why risk your soul?

[Jeff O'Brien @jobrien73]

@AGPamBondi Why hasn’t there been justice? Why are the real criminals still walking around without a care in the world?
