On June 6, 1944, ordinary Americans became the guardians of freedom. They crossed an ocean, stormed the beaches of Normandy, and changed the course of history through courage, sacrifice, and love of country.
Eighty-two years later, Freedom 250 remembers the heroes who gave everything so freedom could endure. 🇺🇸
@BillMelugin_ They sure didn't have a problem when the discrimination went the other way and troops who were uncomfortable sharing a shower with the opposite sex were told to kick rocks.
It flew through the @SenateGOP with UNANIMOUS support, now Congressman Hamadeh’s Maverick Act to preserve the legendary F-14 Tomcat is ready for takeoff in the @HouseGOP.
Let’s get this done and keep American aviation history flying!

“We gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows.”
98-year-old World War II veteran David Yoho delivered an emotional message at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. as Americans gathered to honor the more than 400,000 U.S. service members who died during the war.
Standing before the crowd in the rain, Yoho urged younger generations to remember the sacrifices made by veterans and to keep telling their stories long after they’re gone.
“Tell them it was a 16-year-old boy in the hearts and mind and body of a 98-year-old veteran of World War II.”
.@SECWAR “The single dumbest phrase in military history was peddled in our Army only a few short years ago. You’ve all heard it — maybe in your first two years at West Point — ‘Our diversity is our strength’...
Diversity is NOT our strength. UNITY is our strength...
Our strength is our shared purpose. Our strength is our oath to the Constitution. Our embrace of Army Values. The idea of merit. Our mission. Our absolute commitment to Duty, Honor, Country.
These are the things that unify us. ‘Send me’ becomes ‘Send us’ because you are ONE fighting force, just as we are ONE NATION UNDER GOD.”
On this day 250 years ago, our forefathers gathered for a national day of fasting and prayer. Today, Americans will come together again as one Nation under God.
This is who we are and who we’ve always been.

While filling in for @PressSec, @marcorubio answers a powerful question: "What is your hope for America at a time such as this?"
His answer blew me away.
