I was flying Southwest from Dallas to New York. Three rows ahead of me, there was a young soldier in uniform. He looked barely 18. He was staring straight ahead, gripping the armrests. He looked nervous. When the drink cart came around, the flight attendant asked him what he wanted. 'Coke, please,' he said. 'Heading home?' she asked kindly. 'No, ma'am,' he said. 'Deploying. First time.' The whole row went quiet. The flight attendant didn't say a word. she handed him his Coke. Then, she got on the PA system. 'Ladies and gentlemen, we have a very special guest in Row 8 today. Private Miller is on his first deployment to serve our country. Since I can't buy him a drink, I’m going to ask a favor. If you want to write him a note of encouragement, pass it forward.' I grabbed a napkin. I wrote: 'You got this. Stay safe. - A dad from Row 12.' I watched as napkins traveled up the aisle. Napkins, receipts, pages torn from books. By the time we landed, the soldier had a pile of paper on his tray table three inches high. He stood up to get his bag, and he was wiping his eyes. He carefully packed every single scrap of paper into his rucksack. 'Thank you,' he told the flight attendant. 'No,' she said. 'Thank you.' We all walked off that plane a little quieter, reminded that freedom is just a word until you meet the kid who is defending it.
@macandcube Fan who prolly didnt play ball and prolly didn’t graduate from Auburn, accusing not just an ex player, but an ex captain’s loyalty at heart. Thats the exact kinda Barn fan who would want Hugh fired. @firefreezetoday you a bum. Sorry, not sorry #ROLLTIDE
Oregon head football coach, Dan Lanning, on Ducks super fan Charlie Kirk: “I hurt for his wife, Erika, and their kids. That sort of evil should never exist in our country. That’s what it is, evil.”
“Life matters, and I think we’ve lost sight of that.”
“If you disagree with me, if you hate me, if you don’t like me, just know this: I love you. I absolutely love you, and life matters.”
“Charlie shouldn’t have experienced that; his family shouldn’t have experienced that; there’s no way that evil should exist in this world.”
Thank you, Dan, for standing up for what’s right. Charlie, your legacy will live on forever.
@TheSeppticTank Pretty sure that the score you shoot defines what kinda player you are. Had no clue that tucking your shirt in made you shoot lower scores🤦🏻♂️
We are 87 days away from Alabama Football!
Here’s Brodie Croyle bombing it to @Prothro4 on Bama’s 1st offensive play for an 87 yard TD against Florida in 2005
