@Sovereign_Matt What was your level of supplementation?

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

@JesslovesMJK @high_life826 @BrianRoemmele The ever illusive perpetual motion machine....

2nd law of thermo might have something to say about that...

@SuaveCEO_ I'm rooting for the thunder, but a 2-1 lead with the next game also on the road does not qualify as "full control"

@elonmusk It would be nice to have the model name on the cars so that those that aren't so familiar can identify which it is.

🚀 This week, Artemis II reaches for the moon.
The Texas A&M Space Institute will prepare us to stay.

Opening later this year adjacent to NASA's Johnson Space Center, the $200 million, 400,000-square-foot facility will be home to a first-of-its-kind hub for space research, astronaut training, rover testing, direct access to NASA’s new Exploration Park, and the world's only indoor lunar and Martian landscapes—each the size of Kyle Field! 👍🏼

Jane Allen was suffering from anorexia.
She traveled to Colorado seeking treatment.

Instead, her doctor offered assisted suicide — a prescription for death.

Her father intervened just in time.
Jane began to heal — eating again, tapering off morphine.

The anorexia clinic dropped her, calling her a “liability.”
When Jane chose life, her doctors walked away.

Assisted suicide isn’t healthcare.
It’s preying on the sick and vulnerable.

@DavidFischer @kbohls Amen!
