Most of us likely don’t deserve and can never live up to the sacrifices they gave us starting 82 years ago today.
But we must try!!
Live your freedoms every day and thank them all for what they did!

Heavenly Father, you have clearly warned us in your word that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. We come before you humbly, acknowledging how easily our hearts can drift toward covetousness. In a world that constantly measures success by wealth, status, and possessions, we confess that we are often tempted to place our security, identity, and hope in material things rather than in you. Forgive us Lord, for the times we have loved money more than we have loved you. Forgive us when we have chased after riches and, in doing so, have wandered from the faith and brought unnecessary sorrow into our lives and the lives of those around us. Cleanse our hearts from greed, envy, and discontentment. Teach us to hold loosely to the things of this earth and to hold tightly to the eternal riches found in Christ. Lord, give us a right perspective on money. Help us to see it as a tool to be used for your glory, for generosity, and for meeting needs, rather than as a god to be served. Guard our hearts from the love of money that leads to compromise, anxiety, and spiritual shipwreck. Fill us instead with contentment, gratitude, and a deep trust in your faithful provision. We ask for wisdom to live simply, to work diligently, and to give cheerfully. May our lives reflect that our greatest treasure is knowing you and walking in obedience to your will. Let us not pierce ourselves with many sorrows by pursuing what will never satisfy. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray, Amen. #dailyprayer✝️

My thoughts about SPLC and the hate group that they are and have always been!
Also, a scolding of media outlets that promoted their hate towards good people like my colleagues at @Awake_IL and my friends from @Moms4Liberty

President Reagan’s love for the cowboy lifestyle was evident, from his days on horseback at Rancho del Cielo to his portrayal of Western heroes on screen.

You Got that Right !!!!

Back when Chicagoland was great. Shakeys Pizza ruled. As kids, we could not wait to go to Shakeys Pizza in Hoffman Estates on Saturday night. They have been gone from Chicagoland since the mid 1980s. On another note, let's make Illinois great again and flip it red.

Mr. Samuelson. 1934-2026. He would have been 92 on 3/31. He loved birthdays and celebrated everyone else’s joyfully. Rare to work with someone 45 years. Thank you, O.

Twenty thousand feet above Germany, Charles Brown was dying. His B-17 bomber looked like it had been chewed through a meat grinder—bullet holes riddled the fuselage, half his crew lay dead or bleeding out, and the tail gunner slumped lifeless, blood frozen to the metal. Charles could barely see through his cracked goggles, his hands trembling on the controls. One more hit and they would all be gone.

That was when he saw the German fighter. Franz Stigler pulled his plane close, close enough to see the terror in the American pilot’s eyes. It should have been simple —one burst of gunfire, another kill added to his record. But as Franz looked into that shattered cockpit, something stopped him cold. Inside were boys. Just boys. Bleeding, terrified, clinging desperately to life. The tail gunner wasn’t moving. The other gunners had given up firing. They were defenseless.

Franz knew mercy could get him killed in Nazi Germany. His commanders would court-martial him for what he was about to do. But he didn’t care. Instead of firing, he flew beside the crippled bomber. He waved at Charles—not to mock him, but to guide him. Charles thought it had to be a trick. German pilots didn’t help Americans. They killed them. Yet Franz stayed there, mile after mile, keeping other fighters away, leading them toward the North Sea and safety.

When they reached the coast, Franz did something Charles would never forget. He saluted—one warrior honoring another—and then turned back into Germany. Charles and his crew made it home, alive because an enemy had chosen compassion over duty.

For forty years, Charles couldn’t stop thinking about it. Who was that German pilot? Why had he spared them? He wrote letters, contacted veteran groups, asked everyone he met. No one knew of a German fighter who had escorted a broken American bomber to safety. Most assumed he had imagined it. But Charles kept searching.

In 1990, he finally found an address. Franz Stigler, living quietly in Canada. With shaking hands, Charles picked up the phone. “I think you saved my life,” he said. Franz went silent, then whispered: “You were the B-17 with the dying tail gunner.” He had never forgotten either.

Weeks later, they met in person. Two old warriors, now grandfathers, embracing like long-lost brothers. Franz had never told anyone what he had done that day. In Nazi Germany, mercy could mean execution. “My commander once told me,” Franz explained, “if I ever see you shoot at a man in a parachute or a helpless crew, I will shoot you myself.” When he saw that broken bomber full of bleeding boys, he couldn’t pull the trigger.

The two men became best friends. They traveled together, spoke at schools, and showed the world that even in war’s darkest moments, humanity could triumph over hatred. Charles introduced Franz as “the man who saved my life.” Franz would reply, “He was just a boy. They were all just boys.”

Charles died in 2008. Franz followed eight months later, as if he couldn’t bear to be separated from the friend he had saved. Their story breaks the heart and heals it at the same time.

Franz didn’t have to show mercy. He was surrounded by voices telling him Americans were the enemy. He had every excuse to pull the trigger. But he looked past the uniform and saw the human underneath—boys trying to get home to their families, just like he was.

WOW we finally have a Leader 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

The USS Gerald R. Ford is not parked near Iran. It is parked off Israel. And nobody is asking the only question that matters: why.

The $13.3 billion crown jewel of the US Navy, the largest warship ever constructed, just positioned itself off Haifa. Not in the Arabian Sea where the Lincoln sits 850 kilometers from Iranian shores loaded for offensive operations. Not in the Gulf where strike range is optimal. Off Israel. Defending Israel.

This is not redundancy. This is architecture.

Two carriers. Two missions. Two entirely different strategic functions. The Lincoln is the sword, positioned to launch strike packages into Iranian airspace within hours of an order. The Ford is the shield, its Aegis missile defense systems creating an umbrella over Israeli population centers against the retaliation that follows the first Tomahawk.

America just split its carrier doctrine into offense and defense simultaneously. That has not happened since the Pacific theater in 1945.

But the positioning reveals something deeper than tactics. When Iran retaliates, and every wargame says Iran retaliates, its missiles and drones fly toward Israel. They will fly through the same airspace where a US carrier strike group is now stationed. Every Iranian missile aimed at Tel Aviv or Haifa must traverse the Ford’s defensive envelope. Shooting at Israel means shooting at, around, and through an American carrier group.

Iran cannot retaliate against Israel without engaging American naval assets. The Ford’s position makes that physically impossible. The carrier is not defending Israel as a favor. It is positioned so that any Iranian response to American strikes automatically becomes an attack on American forces, triggering the full unrestrained weight of US military response without a single additional political decision required.

This is escalation insurance written in steel and seawater. If the campaign goes longer than planned, if munitions run thin in 7 to 10 days, if allies hesitate, the Ford’s position ensures that Iranian retaliation does the political work Washington cannot do alone: it transforms a limited American strike into an act of self-defense that no ally can refuse to support.

You do not park a $13.3 billion carrier where the enemy’s return fire will hit it unless you want the enemy’s return fire to hit it.

The Ford is not there to prevent escalation. The Ford is there to guarantee that if escalation comes, it comes on terms that make American restraint politically impossible and allied participation politically unavoidable.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ https://t.co/BrzGRrU3VW
