They left home as boys 8 decades ago to go out and save the world. Last night they sat at the WWII Memorial together and celebrated their country's 250th. Still heroic.

The World Cup is at our shores, and all these people are doing us a great service. They are reminding Americans that this place is kind of awesome.

Iwo Jima veterans Billy Byrd (100) and Don Graves (101) flew to Washington, D.C., where they will serve as Honorary Grand Marshals for the National Memorial Day Parade. 🇺🇸

The first thing they did when they saw each other? Started talking trash.

Some things never change. 🤣

Today is our nations Memorial Day. Enjoy your day and take a moment to remember the true meaning of this day. A day to pay our respects to all those who have given their lives in our country's defense. God bless these brave heroes and their families.

“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.”

Don't harm opossums! They’re harmless and actually really useful. They keep pests in check (eating ticks, roaches, rats, and scorpions), clean up dead animals, and help spread seeds. Basically, they’re nature’s cleanup crew

Movie effects in 1963 were unbelievably impressive. Even with all the technological limitations, filmmakers refused to let those limits hold back their imagination.
