250 years ago the US Army Engineer Regiment was founded. I am beyond proud to serve both as civilian Mechanical Engineer with @USACEHQ and Platoon Leader with @USArmyReserve@teamcastle#ESSAYONS
81 years ago, a group of young men with an average age under 24 changed the course of history.
The military has always been a young persons game. We relay on Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines who elsewhere would still be considered kids to do the impossible. And they do it daily.
Today, we honor the courageous men and women who gave their lives in service to our Nation.
We will never forget their sacrifice, and we will continue to carry on their legacy, today and always.
#MemorialDay
Words will never fully express our gratitude... Thank you, veterans, for your service.
Share this post and join us in honoring them on this #VeteransDay.
80 years ago, nearly 73,000 U.S. troops landed on Normandy — some by parachute, some by glider, and some by boat.
For most of them, it was the first time they would step foot on the European continent. For many, it would also be the last.
This day, we remember them all.
Enough cannot be said about the heroism of all those we remember and honor today, the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
There is a reason we consider them to be part of the Greatest Generation.
