NOBODY tells Americans this part of the story.
March 11, 2011.
A black, 30-foot wall of ocean swallowed Northeast Japan.
Our government froze. The Pentagon had no orders.
Communications were dead.
You know what Captain Thom Burke and Rear Admiral Robert Girrier did on the USS Ronald Reagan?
They didn't wait for the White House.
They didn't wait for paperwork.
They looked at the TV screen, saw their friend drowning, and committed the ultimate military sin:
UNAUTHORIZED ADVANCE.
“We’re going. NOW.”
They turned the massive nuclear carrier full throttle straight into the disaster zone.
Then came the hydrogen explosions at Fukushima.
Radiation plumes drifted across the Pacific.
Every foreign embassy told their citizens: RUN.
The US Embassy ordered an evacuation zone: STAY 50 MILES AWAY.
Did the Ronald Reagan turn around?
DID YOUR SAILORS RUN?
NOT. ONE. INCH.
Nineteen-year-old kids from Texas and Ohio stood on a freezing flight deck, radiation detectors in hand, launching helicopters into blizzards.
They hovered over submerged rooftops, pulling shivering mothers and babies out of the black water.
When Japanese refugees were brought aboard shivering in shock, your sailors gave up their own warm bunks and slept on the cold steel floor.
While the rest of the world ran away from Japan,
AMERICA CHARGED STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE.
You didn't do it for a treaty.
You didn't do it for politicians.
You saw your friend bleeding, and you kicked the doors down to save us.
Happy 250th, America.
Japan will remember your boys forever. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

I don't think anyone but those that played @MikeTyson's Punchout on NES truly understand the bright green canvas and STRESS involved in this situation!
Bill Sherdel’s grandson John is wearing the 1926 World Series champions ring given Sherdel and other #Cardinals. It’s fitting for today’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony. 100 years ago this was the first Cardinals’ title ring. What a piece of history.
#MLB#stlcards
I’ve never seen anything like this…
This ump stopped the game & made Cardinals rookie Hancel Rincon straighten his hat, saying nobody will wear it like that on his field. Quickly followed up by the worst revenge call I’ve ever seen.
Suspend him now @MLB
This is not a rabbit hole the umpires want to enter. Thinking of Sonny Gray, CC Sabathia and the MANY pitchers who have worn their hat differently. And what to say of socks, pant length, shoes, belts? Let the players and MLB be the fashion police.
🇺🇸 A boat going 213 mph hit the finish line and then literally took off.
It happened at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout, where the boat had just clocked the fastest run of the day.
Seconds later, it flew into the air, flipped and came crashing back down into the water.
And somehow, it landed upright.
One person broke his leg while the other walked away. Both survived, with the safety gear doing some serious heavy lifting here.
Wild video.
