Did you know that the first women to land on the Normandy beachhead in June 1944 were nurses of Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Nursing Service?
Their task was to establish a field hospital for 600 wounded soldiers.
They succeeded.
Please remember these heroines who saved lives:
“It was one of the most monumentally unselfish things one group of people did for another.”
-#DDay veteran Andy Rooney on the young 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 soldiers who stormed the beaches of Normandy 82 years ago.
Required watching for every young person today!
Happy #NationalTrailsDay 👣 Whatever type of trail you enjoy, we hope you take the time to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us!

It was 59 years ago today...that Sgt Pepper was released.
5 months later Carol Burnett with Bobbie Gentry, Gwen Virdon and Phyllis Diller paid tribute on the 6th ever Carol Burnett Show.
Travis Kelce has been all over the world. He and Taylor Swift have more money than God.
They could be anywhere and do anything.
He still claims Cleveland.
This place is special. 🙏
📸MEMORIAL DAY PHOTOGRAPHY TIMELINE CLEANSE📸
This is one of my favorite photos I ever took.
I was just back from Iraq, assigned to DC, and I was in a dark place when I took this. I used to go to Arlington National Cemetery and just sit there.
I love this photo because it's just a great photograph with amazing leading lines and a mysterious quality from the main figure, and it also reminds me of where we all will end up eventually.
I call it "The Guy Who Powerwashes Your Gravestone." (Yes, this is in Arlington National Cemetery.)
I'm not 100% sure why I want to share this today, but I feel the need.
God bless all Americans who gave that last full measure of devotion.
