Elizabeth Loncki was a 23-year-old U.S. Army soldier.
She worked as an explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) specialist in Iraq.
Her job was to find and disable bombs so others would stay safe.
She often worked in dangerous areas where hidden explosives were common.
She completed about 194 missions in total.
Each mission involved serious life-threatening risk.
She had to stay calm and careful every time, because one mistake could be fatal.
In 2007, she was close to finishing her deployment.
She had only about 20 days left before returning home.
During her final mission, she was killed in action.
She died while doing the same dangerous work she had done throughout her service.
Her sacrifice saved many lives, even though most people would never know her personally.
Una elefanta de circo retirada fue vista llorando y tratando de consolar a su compañera de más de 25 años tras su colapso y fall3cimiento.
Jenny y Magda actuaron juntas en Rusia durante más de 25 años.
Tras el fallecimiento de Jenny esta semana, Magda impidió que los veterinarios se acercaran durante varias horas, mientras abrazaba a la elefanta.
"En los primeros minutos después de la tragedia, empujó suavemente a su amiga e intentó levantarla, y luego comenzó a abrazarla", informó el medio Baza.
"Magda se despidió de Jenny durante varias horas y no permitió que los veterinarios se acercaran".
Qué triste.
When the largest wildfire in Nebraska history tore through Mike and Kayla Wintz’s Sandhills ranch, it wiped out the grass and hay their cattle depend on. Their livelihood was gone — until strangers from across the country stepped in. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road.
Because of these men, we have our today.
Our freedoms, our hopes, our ability to wake up each morning in a world shaped by courage and sacrifice all of it exists because a generation of WWIl veterans stood up when the world needed them most. They faced darkness with unwavering bravery, fought for people they would never meet, and carried the weight of protecting a future they might never see.
Today, we honor every one of them those who returned home and those who never did. Their strength, resilience, and sacrifice changed the course of history and gave us the chance to live in a world where freedom could flourish.
May we never forget what they endured, what they defended, and what they gave us. Because of these men, we have our today and we owe them more than words can ever express. 🇺🇸🫡
