On June 6, 1944, Martha Gellhorn was sitting in a London briefing room when the news broke: D-Day had begun. She had already been denied press credentials. The U.S. military had banned all female journalists from the front. Her editor at Collier's had quietly handed her D-Day assignment to someone else. That someone else was her husband, Ernest Hemingway. She got in a cab and went to the docks at Southampton anyway. She talked her way past a military policeman by claiming she wanted to interview nurses aboard a hospital ship. Then she found a bathroom, locked the door, and waited in silence until the HMHS Prague was too far out to sea to turn back. The Prague was the first Allied hospital ship to reach Normandy. In the dark water off Omaha Beach, Higgins boats ferried shattered men out to the ship. Gellhorn moved among them, helping carry stretchers, holding hands, recording everything. On June 8, she went ashore herself, one of the only civilians to set foot on that beach during the landing operation. When she got back to England, military police were waiting on the dock. They arrested her, revoked her accreditation, and sent her to a nurses training camp outside London as punishment. She went AWOL within 48 hours. She went on to cover the Battle of the Bulge. She was among the first journalists to enter Dachau after liberation. She reported conflicts on six continents over six decades, never once embedded, never once asking permission. Hemingway flew to Normandy on a press plane. Full military clearance. Official credentials. He watched the landings from the air and filed his dispatch. He won the Nobel Prize. You know his name. You probably didn't know hers until just now.

Attention my American family. I need your help. I have a family moving to Texas, Richardson next week. They already organized a place to stay. They are looking for work.

Anyone in the Fortworth area that can help? It would be a blessing. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😃

On June 6, 1944, Technical Sergeant Frank Peregory landed at Omaha Beach with the 116th Infantry. His battalion was pinned. The bluffs above them were loaded with German positions. Men were dying in the open. No one could move forward. Officers were calling for covering fire that wasn't coming. Peregory looked up at the hill. Then he started climbing. Alone. With no orders. No one told him to go. He just went. He reached the crest, found a German trench, and jumped in. What happened next is almost impossible to believe. He fixed his bayonet. He threw grenades. He moved through that trench and killed 8 German soldiers in close quarters combat. Then he reached a group of 35 more and forced every single one of them to surrender. One American sergeant. 43 enemy soldiers. Alone in a trench. He opened the path for his entire battalion to push off that beach. He was awarded the Medal of Honor. Eight days later, Frank Peregory was killed in action. He had lied about his age to join the National Guard at 15 years old. He spent his entire adult life as a soldier, preparing for a moment that lasted maybe 20 minutes on a hill above a French beach. He never knew he had won the Medal of Honor. It was presented to his family. Posthumously.

“It was a different world then. It was a world that required young men like myself to be prepared to die for a civilization that was worth living in.” –Harry Read, British Soldier in the 6th Airborne Division who jumped into Normandy in the early hours of 6 June 1944

D-Day in Color: Reinforcements Continue to Pour Into Normandy 🇺🇸🇬🇧 Allied troops wade ashore during the Normandy landings as more waves of infantry, vehicles, and supplies arrive behind the initial assault. LCIs ferry fresh troops from transport ships while LSTs unload jeeps, trucks, and equipment onto smaller landing craft just offshore. An endless flow of men and machinery that kept the invasion moving after the initial landings.

Alex Kershaw’s D-Day coverage has begun. Every year it is utterly exceptional. Do ‘Follow’ him and keep up-to-date with his posts:

Around 1,950 years ago in Pompeii, a weaver named Successus fell in love with a barmaid named Iris. She did not love him back. We know this because his rival, a man named Severus, decided to humiliate him publicly. He grabbed something sharp and carved this into a wall for the whole city to read: "Successus the weaver loves the innkeeper's slave girl named Iris. She does not care about him at all. But he begs her to have pity on him. His rival wrote this. Goodbye." Imagine walking to work and seeing that with your name on it. Successus found it. And instead of letting it go, he carved his reply directly underneath: "Envious one, why do you get in the way? Yield to a man who is better looking and being treated very unfairly." Severus came back one more time to end it: "I have spoken. I have written. You love Iris, but she does not love you." Then, in 79 AD, Vesuvius erupted and buried the wall, the tavern, and the entire argument under 20 feet of ash. The thread was frozen mid-beef for almost two millennia until archaeologists dug it up and translated it. We will never know who got the girl. We do not even know if any of the three survived. Pompeii has over 11,000 of these inscriptions. Bar reviews. Bragging. Bad poetry. A bakery wall that says "Welcome, hungry people." Two guys fighting over a girl in the comments. The technology changes. We do not.

🚨NEVER FORGET🚨 Six years ago, Retired St. Louis Police Captain David Dorn was shot and killed while trying to protect a friend’s pawn shop from looters during the 2020 BLM riots. He had served 38 years with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department before retiring.

The richest man in America signed a document that could have gotten him hanged, and when someone sneered that he was safe because no one would know which Charles Carroll to come for, he picked up the pen and told the British exactly where to find him. His name was Charles Carroll, and the colonies were crawling with men who shared it. His own father was Charles Carroll of Annapolis. So when the Declaration of Independence came to him for signing in 1776, a delegate made a cruel little joke. He said Carroll risked nothing by signing. There were so many Charles Carrolls that the King's men would never know which one to hang. Carroll didn't argue. He leaned over the page and added three words to his signature: "of Carrollton." The name of his estate. His address. He was the only signer in the entire room who wrote down where he lived, and he did it on purpose, so that if the British wanted to come hang the traitor, they would know exactly which door to knock on. That is who Charles Carroll of Carrollton was. Here is what makes the moment even sharper. He was not a man with little to lose. He was the single wealthiest man in the thirteen colonies and the largest private landowner among them. While George Washington and John Hancock get talked about as rich men, it was Carroll who topped them all. When he signed, he was wagering the biggest personal fortune in America against a noose. And he was the last man anyone would have expected to be there at all. Carroll was Catholic. In colonial Maryland, a colony founded as a Catholic refuge that had since turned on its own, Catholics could not vote. They could not hold public office. They could not worship in public. The most educated, wealthiest man in America was, in the eyes of the law, a second-class subject barred from the very government he was helping to create. He had spent seventeen years being educated by Jesuits in France and spoke five languages fluently, and back home he still could not legally cast a ballot. So he became the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, putting his name on a revolution that he hoped would build a country with room for men like him. That was its own enormous bet, made by a man the existing system had already shut out. Then he simply outlived everyone. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same astonishing day, July 4, 1826, exactly fifty years after the Declaration. When they were gone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton was the last living signer left on earth. For six more years he was the final human link to that room in Philadelphia, the last hand that had signed, a living relic of the founding that ordinary Americans traveled to see and shake. He finally died in November 1832 at the age of ninety-five, fifty-six years after he wrote his address on a treason document and dared the empire to come find him. The richest man in America. The only Catholic. The last one standing. He had more to lose than any of them, every legal reason to stay quiet, and he signed his full address anyway. We remember the names we were handed in school. We forget the man who made sure his couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's. Which Founding Father do you think history shortchanged the most?

Today, we honor the life, service & sacrifice of Boston Firefighter Bobby Kilduff. BK was not just a colleague when I was at PFFM, but a friend. Sending love & strength to his family, his firefighting family & all whose lives he touched. #mapoli
