@dom_lucre I agree, I was stupid. I had to help my parents, didn’t want to get them sick. My life changed I developed life threatening allergic asthma. I got the shots for the right reason and now my life is way different and honestly sucks.
🚨BREAKING: More than $150,000 has been raised in just over 24 hours for Dasha, the Texas woman who was doxxed, fired from her job, and subjected to death threats after confronting two Muslim women at a grocery store.
The women allegedly instigated the encounter and began filming. Dasha responded:
“This is not a Muslim country, this is a Christian country. You need to leave. You worship a terrorist who is a warlord, a pedophile, and Islam is a terrorist organization. You're not welcome here. You need to go back to your Islamic country where you came from.”
Whose side are you on?
@SStricklandMMA Don’t have one. Out of my price range. Heard they are top of the line. Looks dry. Oil it. People say there is a break in period. Keep it wet. If that doesn’t work send it back
Brian R. Chontosh stepped into chaos and didn’t slow down.
It was March 25, 2003, during the Iraq War. His unit was moving fast when they suddenly ran into a large enemy force.
Machine gun fire opened up.
Rocket-propelled grenades hit nearby.
The convoy was pinned down.
Most units would have pulled back.
Chontosh didn’t.
He got out of his vehicle and moved straight toward the enemy position.
Alone.
Under heavy fire.
He closed the distance and entered the trenches where enemy fighters were positioned. In close combat, he cleared multiple positions using grenades and his rifle.
At one point, his weapon ran empty.
He didn’t stop.
He picked up an enemy weapon and kept fighting.
Moving trench to trench.
Position to position.
Completely exposed.
His actions broke the enemy’s momentum. What started as an ambush quickly turned into a retreat.
His unit survived.
The path forward was cleared.
All because one Marine decided to move forward when everything said to stay down.
For his actions, Chontosh was awarded the Navy Cross, one of the highest military honors for valor.
But outside military circles, his name isn’t widely known.
No major headlines today. No constant recognition.
Just a man who stepped out of cover… and ran straight into danger alone.
Not because he had to.
But because someone had to.
Most people will never hear his story.
Lance Corporal Brady A. Gustafson fought off nearly 100 Taliban fighters from the turret of an MRAP… after his leg was blown off.
In July 2008, the 21 year old Marine manned his M240B in the MRAP turret. The vehicle took point of a mounted column patrolling through Shewan, Afghanistan. Suddenly, a complex ambush hit the column from all around, initiated by an RPG aimed at Gustafson’s MRAP. The RPG penetrated the vehicle’s hull and detonating inside. Flames shot up through the turret, searing his face. He stood to take aim at the surrounding muzzle flashes, but his right leg buckled beneath him in excruciating pain. Gustafson looked down and found his leg mangled beyond recognition, with bone exposed and his booted foot dangling by a shred of muscle.
Despite the injury, Gustafson resumed shooting all around. As he fired, a Marine inside the MRAP applied a tourniquet to his leg. Gustafson finished a 200 round belt, loaded another, and returned to his war. An RPG struck the vehicle behind Gustafson, bursting it into flames. He shouted to the driver of the MRAP, who had just regained consciousness, to reverse direction. They pushed the flaming vehicle backward out of the kill zone, allowing the occupants to safely exit. Gustafson blew through another 200 rounds and reloaded once more before finally relenting to medical treatment and allowing another Marine to take over the turret. His fearless resolve and courageous initiative saved the column from destruction, and ensured not a single Marine was lost that day.
For his actions, LCpl Gustafson received the Navy Cross. He left the Marine Corps the following year as a Corporal.
U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer Scott Ruskan will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service at ESPN after saving 165 lives during his very first mission.
For hours, he triaged victims, protected frightened children, and offered comfort during the devastating Camp Mystic flood.
A true American hero.
@itsrosesm I love it! Not saying everyday of course. That wouldn’t be sustainable. Once week or month sure. It’s sad that they only get to eat like before a conflict. Honestly I wouldn’t be able to eat at that point. God bless our troops and god bless the USA
