"THE OLD GUARD "
The U.S. Army (part of the federal government) purchased the Middleburg Training Center, a roughly 149-acre equestrian facility in Middleburg (near the village of St. Louis in Loudoun County), Virginia.

The deal closed on August 6, 2026, for $8.6 million. The property includes 11 barns, numerous paddocks/pastures, and a 7/8-mile training track. It was bought from owner Charles “Chuck” Kuhn (who had acquired and improved it in 2017) to serve as a permanent home for the Caisson Detachment of the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (“The Old Guard”). These horses pull caissons in military funeral processions at Arlington National Cemetery.

Tossing it back to this March morning in 2025 when Ruby and Mum were “figuring each other out”.
Structure was forming. Routines were building.
Safety was being built.
This was about 8 weeks in of our rescuing this little nugget.
Yes, her eyes were always captivating ❤️🩹💕
My friend took his life Saturday. He was 31. Had a career he was proud of, a wife who loved him, two kids who needed him. From the outside, he had it all. From the inside, he was drowning and none of us saw it.
That's the part that keeps me up at night. We were friends. We talked. We laughed. He knew what I do for people who are suicidal and somehow, the thing that was killing him stayed hidden behind all of that.
Men are raised to be the rock. The provider. The one who holds it together no matter what. So we learn to swallow the pain, to smile through the cracks, to carry everything alone until the weight finally wins.
If you're a man reading this and you're struggling please, please ask for help. Not because you're weak. Because you're human. Because the people who love you would rather hear the hard truth than lose you to a silence they never knew existed.
And if you're a friend of a man, really check in. Not the casual "how are you." The real "what's going on with you brother." Sometimes the strongest ones are the ones falling the hardest, and they won't say a word until someone asks.
I wish I had asked him. I wish I had known. I wish I had said something. We talked for 30 minutes on Wednesday and I keep going over in my head what I missed. Miss you and love you brother 💔

If anyone would like to help, I would like to purchase a big set of flowers from Diego Ranch https://t.co/Qi4R6J8pXu
Miss Ruby and Mr. Mallard.
Operation Tail Wag has worked. No longer petrified during the 5-7pm bad abuse window from her past.
Now she can be the “aggressor”.
No longer the victim.
Recovery from abuse takes time, but man, is it worth it.
Go Ruby! ❤️🩹

We have to keep speaking out about this, we are being robbed
American buys 5 pound containers of Prairie Farms cottage cheese. He notices they’ve been feeling lighter lately so he puts a new one in the scale
It is just over 4 pounds… that’s 20% of product missing that we are paying for
Also the price went up. It used to be $9.49 a year ago and now it’s $11.29
Somewhere along the way it became normalized to just accept being robbed by Big Food. We need punishments for shorting product weights
