La FIFA preguntó a una japonesa que por qué recogen la basura en todos los estadios a los que asisten. Ella lo explicó: "Es nuestra cultura. Pero también es una señal de respeto hacia el país y estadio que nos acoge y hacia nuestros jugadores. Para nosotros es un honor que nos reciban aquí y no podríamos dejar todo hecho un desastre".

Most people remember Tom Landry standing on the sidelines of Dallas Cowboys games. Few remember him sitting in the cockpit of a dying bomber over Europe. Before he became one of football's most famous coaches, Landry served as a B-17 pilot during World War II. Flying from England, he led missions deep into enemy territory where every flight carried the possibility of never returning home. Then came his 30th mission. High above Europe, German anti-aircraft fire found its target. Explosions ripped through the bomber. One engine failed. Then another. Then another. Then another. Suddenly, all four engines were gone. The massive B-17 was no longer flying. It was falling. Inside the aircraft were young airmen who knew exactly what that usually meant. D*ath. Panic could have spread through the crew. Landry never allowed it. Witnesses later recalled how calmly he fought to keep control of the powerless aircraft as it dropped toward the ground. With no engines and almost no options left, he guided the crippled bomber toward a field in France. Then came the impact. Steel scraped across the earth. The aircraft slammed into the ground. Against all odds, the crew survived. The young pilot had brought them home. Years later, America would know Tom Landry as the coach who built the Dallas Cowboys into a dynasty. Fans would admire his discipline, leadership, and calm under pressure. What many never realized was where those qualities were forged. Not on a football field. But inside a shattered bomber falling from the sky during World War II. Long before he coached champions, Tom Landry was already saving lives. Story based on historical records. This post is for educational purposes. Credit - timefold

@VirginaRay57067 @RBaruch @SanderSassen Mean people do mean things. Your sacrifice is and will be an inspiration and example for generations. It is impossible to balance the scales after a loss, but the secure feeling to a scared soul is also impossible to measure.

June 14, 2017: our daughter Rebecca Baruch graduated from high school in the Netherlands. Weeks later she made aliyah. After a preparatory year, she joined the #IDF, serving for four years before returning to duty on the afternoon of October 7, 2023. Rebecca passed away on January 21, 2024. She is buried on Mount Herzl, the only female soldier of this war accorded that honor, plot 18A - third row from the top, third grave from the left. She lived it in service of something larger than herself. #RebeccaBaruch #AmYisraelChai 🇮🇱🕯️

After Japan battled the Netherlands to a 2-2 draw, the Japanese fans stayed behind and cleaned up every single piece of trash from their section at Dallas Stadium after the game. You LOVE to see it 🇯🇵

A huge congratulations is in order! Malik Jordan has officially entered the history books of the American legal system. Having completed his entire high school curriculum by age twelve and a university degree in political science by fifteen, Malik spent eighteen months studying advanced jurisprudence independently at his kitchen table. Yesterday morning, the state supreme court confirmed he achieved a top-tier score on his very first attempt, making him the youngest licensed attorney in the nation. He begins a federal clerkship next month. How inspiring is this young man’s journey?

So happy for you! I know you have a VERY dedicated coaching staff and training support, but if you don’t put the honest work in, then it is wasted. YOU made a wonderful memory for my wife and I watching. I hope you journal these moments when all is well. You need to love yourself enough to create something that is by you and for you so when the times get challenging, that you and your children can rekindle your passion. Congrats, and thank you for representing.

Chris Nikic, the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman, completes Ironman 70.3 Massachusetts. Shortly before the race, Nikic announced that he needed a guide to run alongside him for the race. That's when Dr. Tommy Martin decided to step up. ⁠ "I learned more in this race than almost any other I have competed in, and none of it was about race tactics or how to PR. It was about life, perspective, determination, and grit. I owe all of that to Chris," Martin said. "I hope every finish line Chris crosses serves as a reminder to the world: your diagnosis, your situation, your circumstances do not define your potential!" Congrats, Chris!

On my way home this afternoon, I spotted an elderly white woman lying on the sidewalk at the corner of Peoria and 49th Street, while a young Asian woman was trying to talk to her. I quickly turned around and parked in the Burger Street parking lot just as another car arrived. I got out of my car at the same time as a young Black man. We both checked her condition and saw that she had fallen backwards while using a walker, hitting her head on the concrete. I said I would call for help, and the young Black man went to his car to get a soft jacket and gently placed it under her head to protect her from the scorching heat of the pavement (it was 38°C today). Soon, other kind people arrived. A young white woman took an umbrella from her car to protect the woman's face from the sun, while another brought towels to place under her bare arms. A young Hispanic employee from Burger Street came out with a bucket of fresh water and a cloth for her forehead. Together—Black, White, Asian, and Hispanic—we all worked to help an elderly white woman who had fallen. This is the America I believe in and love: an America filled with compassion, kindness, and love, regardless of race, age, or gender

Meet Officer Nuttall from the Bradenton Police Department. Recently, he came across a homeless family on the streets, where he met a deeply distressed mother who was crying due to their lack of shelter and a dog to care for. At the same time, her young son was sobbing from hunger. In an inspiring display of humanity, Officer Nuttall took immediate action, treating the family to a delicious pizza meal. He set up arrangements with the Humane Society to care for their dog for the night and secured a hotel room for them as well. To ensure their well-being continued, he approached us at the Salvation Army for assistance in finding them a place to stay once their hotel occupancy ended in the morning. We are committed to helping them. A heartfelt thank you goes out to Officer Nuttall for his exceptional kindness. Please share this to shed light on this incredible act of human kindness and to recognize the valuable work this officer does!

This is Richard Webb. He's my father-in-law. He served two tours in Vietnam as a Marine Recon Sniper. He received two purple hearts for his service along with countless other medals. This photo is seven years ago... Today, Richard spends most days not knowing what the hell is going on because he developed type 2 diabetes from agent orange in Vietnam. My wife has been fighting the VA for over a year to get Richard the care and benefits he needs just to survive. The process is a joke. The service is a bigger joke. The VA case managers are absolute dog shit and treat our nation's heroes like garbage. They also act as if they're doing our vets a FAVOR for the most basic of care. @SecVetAffairs, I've been to your headquarters building in DC, and have first hand experience dealing with the incompetent staff. This is hands down the most embarrassing department in all of the Trump administration. If the Boss knew how horrendously our veterans are still being treated after you've had eighteen months to fix these issues, you'd be fired tomorrow. I waited a long time to write this, but at this point I've seen enough.
