As the 11th MEU boards ship, remember your training and hold the line. Stay focused, look out for each other, and always be ready to answer the call. Semper Fi. ⚓ 🇺🇸 💪

Pulling out this classic ’84 Topps Stevie Y rookie on a historic day.
​With Yzerman officially out as Red Wings GM, the massive roadblock in Dylan Larkin trade talks is gone. Does Billy Guerin finally get his target in Minnesota? 🪵👀 #MNWild #LGRW

Fun piece of MN football history: In 1952-53, the New York Giants held summer training camp at Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter.
​Future legends Frank Gifford & Tom Landry practiced on campus, while a young local named Bud Grant watched from the sidelines. 🏈 #NFLHistory

Always appreciated Senator Lindsey Graham’s straightforward communication style. Whether you agreed with him or not, he never minced words, delivered his message with absolute clarity, and stood firm on national security. That kind of direct leadership was rare. 🇺🇸

@BillToulouse What an autistic chauffeur!

Guerin’s blueprint is clear: the #MNWild traded finesse for pure horsepower. Out with the old guard, in with Coleman’s grit and a heavy, brutal bottom six.
With Hughes/Faber anchoring the blue line & Wallstedt in net, this team is faster, heavier, and built for the fight. 👊🏼

The blueprint is locked in. 30+ years of elite junior & ACHA pedigree are officially behind the bench in Forest City! 🪵🪓

​With an elite recruiter at the helm and a lethal veteran core returning, the championship window is wide open for 2026-27 & 2027-28.

​Time to hunt. ⚔️🏒

1 year ago today, I hung up the uniform for the last time. 365 days of retirement down, and it’s easily been 1 of the best decisions ever. Grateful for the journey, and looking forward to many more miles ahead! 🫡🇺🇸

Happy Birthday to the legendary Lt. Gen. Lewis "Chesty" Puller, born on this day in 1898!
The most decorated Marine in U.S. history, a 5x Navy Cross recipient, and the ultimate Marine's Marine.

POW/MIA Flag Protocol: In a moving color guard, only the U.S. Flag remains upright during Present Arms—the POW/MIA flag dips as an organizational color. On a stationary pole, its status shifts: it flies directly beneath Old Glory, taking precedence over state & service flags.

The '98 Honda Valkyrie Std still schools modern cruisers. While today’s bikes rely on shaking V-twins & electronic safety nets, the Valkyrie’s hot-rodded 1520cc flat-six delivers 100hp of turbine-smooth, analog power. Low center of gravity, zero vibe, pure mechanical soul.
