SERVICE I’ve been trying to put into words what I saw last night. What struck me most wasn’t the fight, the venue, or the people in attendance. For one night, the focus was on veterans, service members, first responders, and the men and women who have dedicated their lives to something bigger than themselves. I honestly can’t remember ever seeing an event of that scale centered around honoring them. As I walked away, one thought stayed with me. Of all the things I’ve accomplished in my life, the greatest honor I’ve ever earned is knowing that one day, when my time comes, an American flag will be draped over my body. Not because of who I am, but because of what that flag represents. Freedom. Opportunity. Love. Faith. Good. When I think about last night, that’s what it was really about. A country honoring those who have served it, and a reminder that there is no greater privilege than earning the right to be covered by the flag of the nation you love. Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump , for opening the White House and creating an opportunity for so many Americans to come together and celebrate this country and the people who have dedicated their lives to serving it. God Bless America. 🇺🇸

これだよこれ、アメリカはこうでなくちゃな 虹色の旗よりよっぽど似合ってる

Deeply. Because I’m committed to authenticity and relentless about truth. Not for clicks or applause, but for one purpose: to build the lethality and warfighting edge our Army will need if the balloon goes up. And more importantly, to strengthen deterrence—so we never have to fight. ⁣ ⁣ Peace comes through real, credible strength. Not dog-and-pony shows.⁣ ⁣ I’ve been “informed” my authenticity upsets people. Damn right it does. That’s the job. Our profession demands abrasiveness when softness gets Soldiers killed.⁣ I’ve written the professional articles, recorded the podcasts, spoken at the symposiums. Observations from 55 NTC rotations, Blackhorse command, and hard lessons from the modern battlefield. They get filed away like every other rotational AAR—only for us to repeat the same mistakes and ignore the same gaps.⁣ ⁣ 𝐗 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭.

I’m all in on that mission.⁣ #Blackhorse #Lethality #MissionCommand

This bears repeating, founding fathers wanted drinking, games, sports, celebrations and the sky lit up continent wide: The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. - John Adams

Lot of people on here pretending continuous bombardment didn't bring North Vietnam to the negotiating table and also completely alter their demands.
