🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know D-Day Edition: John J. Pinder Jr.
Technician Fifth Grade John J. Pinder Jr. landed on Omaha beach on his birthday. He didn’t make it off.
Born June 6, 1912, in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, Joe Pinder was the oldest of three children. His father worked in the steel industry.
He graduated as valedictorian of Butler High School in 1931.
Pinder spent the next several years as a right-handed pitcher in the minor leagues.
He played six seasons in the farm systems of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, and Brooklyn Dodgers.
In 1941 he won 17 games and was still chasing a shot at the major leagues when the war came.
He entered the Army in January 1942 after Pearl Harbor.
Assigned as a radio operator with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, he fought in North Africa and Sicily.
In Sicily he earned a Bronze Star for staying at an observation post under fire.
On June 6, 1944, Pinder landed with the first waves on Omaha Beach on his birthday.
Communications were shattered. His job was to get a working radio ashore.
He made it off the landing craft. They were 100 yards off the beach.
Then he was hit. A round tore into his face after only a few steps off the boat.
Pinder held the torn flesh of his face together with one hand, carried the radio with the other, and delivered the radio to his unit, while wading thru waste deep water.
That should have been enough. It wasn’t.
Weakened and bleeding, he turned around and went back into the surf and fire three more times to salvage communication equipment.
He even recovered another workable radio.
On the third trip machine gun fire hit him again, this time in the legs.
Still he kept going.
Weakening but exposed on the beach, he helped get the radios working so the men around him could call for support.
While doing so, he was hit for the third time and killed.
Medal of Honor. Posthumous.
It was presented to his father on January 26, 1945.
Pinder was initially buried in Normandy.
In 1947 his family brought him home to Grandview Cemetery in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
He was the only professional baseball player awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II.

I thought President Trump was going to change things, but apparently it’s just too big even for him. I was never a political person until I started to see what was happening to my country and I’m worried about my kids. “Biden” let so many illegals come over the border and they are now sucking us dry. And I see it every single day at my job. Today I had a patient that “immigrated“ here on January 25, 2026. On January 26, 2026 he immediately started dialysis. The hospital made sure he got  immediately got  Medicaid. And now his sister is making sure that he has hearing aids. I read the referral report it’s all there. American citizens have to pay out-of-pocket for hearing aids and for their health insurance. But not this guy. I had to pay $17,500 a year for health insurance. When Rob lost his job I had to go on Obama care. When I didn’t include his income, which I didn’t know I was supposed to because I was the only one applying, I was penalized by the IRS. After working my whole life, I now owe the IRS $11,666 most of it because of healthcare. I am pissed off and disheartened because no one seems to understand what is happening to American citizens like me. I can’t pay the IRS that amount of money. I filed but didn’t pay. But if I was an illegal, I’d have free food, free housing and free medical, and if I committed a crime, I’d probably get off. This is America now. My kids don’t have a chance. I apparently I never did.

My Dad was there; while he lay dying under hospice care he sat straight up and exclaimed "my men, what about my men".
Dad never talked much about WWII but, it stayed with him until he passed in 2003.

* It was you who appointed your chief adviser, Valerie Jarrett, an Iranian, who is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, an off-shoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.
It was you the whole time who ushered in this mess we are in!
