🇺🇸 Matthew Axelson dedicated his life to serving something greater than himself. After graduating from college, he joined the U.S. Navy and earned the coveted SEAL Trident, becoming one of America's elite special operators.

In June 2005, Matt deployed to Afghanistan with SEAL Team 10. During Operation Red Wings, he and three teammates entered the rugged Hindu Kush Mountains on a dangerous reconnaissance mission. When their team was discovered, they were surrounded by overwhelming Taliban forces. Despite impossible odds, Matt stood shoulder to shoulder with Lt. Michael Murphy and Danny Dietz, fighting with incredible courage while protecting his fellow SEALs. Only Marcus Luttrell survived the battle.🕊️

Matthew's remains were recovered days later, and he was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism. His sacrifice continues to inspire generations of service members, reminding us that true courage is measured by loyalty, honor, and never abandoning those beside you.

June 29, 1944. Two of Germany's most senior generals travel to Hitler's mountain retreat to do something almost no one dared. Tell him the truth. The war in the west is lost.

Three weeks after D-Day, the situation in Normandy was sliding toward disaster. The Allies were ashore for good, pouring in men and supplies through the ruins of captured ports, and pounding the German defenders with total command of the sky.

So the old Field Marshal von Rundstedt, the senior commander in the west, and Rommel, the famous Desert Fox now defending France, went to see Hitler face to face. They tried to make him understand. They needed freedom to pull back, to fight smart, maybe even to look for a way out.

Hitler would not hear it. He lectured them about miracle weapons that would turn everything around, the rockets and the jets, and sent them back to keep holding an impossible line.

A couple of days later it boiled over. One of Hitler's yes men telephoned von Rundstedt and asked what on earth they should do now. The old field marshal lost his patience and snapped back the line that became legend. Make peace, you fools. What else can you do.

It got him fired almost on the spot.

And Rommel. Rommel had even darker days coming. Within weeks he would be badly wounded when a plane strafed his car. And not long after that, tied to a plot to kill Hitler, he would be handed a choice between a public trial or a quiet vial of poison. He took the poison. Germany's most famous soldier, finished off by his own Fuhrer.

#Marines with 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, take part in flight operations in support of Valiant Shield 26 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam.

Exercises like Valiant Shield allow Pacific Command Joint Forces the opportunity to integrate forces from all branches of service and with our allies to conduct precise, lethal, and overwhelming effects that demonstrate the strength and versatility of the joint force and our commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific.
