Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

@PredsNHL @Senators My personal 17-game losing streak when being in attendance is over. Didn’t look promising down 0-3 in the second period, but the Predators came back to win 5-3! @PredsNHL

[Pierce Schubert @pierce_schubert]

Dating back to game 4 of the 2017 Western Conference Finals, I have been to 12 @PredsNHL games. They are 0-12 when I’m in Bridgestone Arena. Is it me?

[Pierce Schubert @pierce_schubert]

I don’t always go see the @PredsNHL play, but when I do, they lose. Dating back to 2017, when I’m in attendance their record is now 0-16 after tonight. My next scheduled game is Jan. 22 vs the @Senators . Place your bets accordingly.

[Pierce Schubert @pierce_schubert]

@wesruckerTBA Whatever. Terrible play call. Get the one yard or don’t. If you don’t, hurry, up, spike it and take the FG.

@TNLaw I’ll go with 18

@ClayTravis Wonder how the dollar amount threshold was decided?

[Pierce Schubert @pierce_schubert]

@MeghansMole At least Sue Ellen Mischke is proud

[Pierce Schubert @pierce_schubert]

@ClayTravis Restaurant and sports bar owners are going to hate it if so.
How does Netflix/Hulu/Prime handle a sports bar’s subscription when they want to stream on 40 TVs?
