Before we formed a Nation, we formed a Corps of Marines. For 250 years @USMC has fought & won our country’s battles in every clime & place. Our legacy & warrior ethos have been forged in combat & passed down through generations. We are the few, the proud. Happy Birthday, Marines!

According to NFL Communications, there are only two QBs in NFL history with 3 games of 3+TD passes and a passer rating of 140+in first two seasons, and both went to Iowa universities:

The Last Full Measure of Devotion

This #MemorialDay, we pay tribute to the brave men and women of the Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice defending the nation’s freedom.

A frequent critique of the public sector is often raised in the form of a rhetorical question that goes something like this… “Why doesn’t the government run like a business?” https://t.co/Xs9pQiaaWW

And it’s official - my comedy video from 10 years ago predicted the future… @notthefakeSVP sent @ESPNCaddie to the Pimento Cheese stand as part of their continuing coverage of #themasters.

Hello Friends - As #themasters tees off today, and on the heels of Jim Nantz's heartfelt goodbye to the NCAA Tournament earlier this week, it is without shame I present my 2014 winning entry from the @dpshow Jim Nantz impression contest. https://t.co/Jr7DzvFN69

Re-sharing this video, year after year, is - dare I say - a tradition unlike any other.

These themes of progress — transparency and accountability, efficiency and effectiveness — are foundational elements to the public administration profession dating back more than a century.

[Lucas Casey @lucasjcasey]

The RFP is one of many methods for improving transparency and accountability in pursuit of a more efficient and effective government.

[Keith Murphy @KeithMurphy]

They did it. #Hawkeyes will play for the championship. Iowa stuns #1 SC, 77-73.

In a showdown that exceeded the hype, Iowa coaches had a brilliant game plan, and the incomparable Caitlin Clark. She���s playing a different game. 41 points, including final 13. 8 assists.

Wow.

Today I attended the Lifting Up Rural America Summit at @GrandViewUniv, where we discussed ways to help rural pastors thrive so that they can empower their communities. Thank you for the invitation, and for your important work in this area!

[U.S. Marines @USMC]

Happy Birthday, Marines!

For 247 years, Marines have fought in any clime and place to defend our nation. Today, we reflect on the legacy of our Corps, and rededicate ourselves to fighting and winning the battles that lie ahead. #SemperFi

I settled on this because I have spent most of my adult life explaining - and re-explaining - it to my suburban neighbors.
