July 6, 1936, Route 66, New Mexico. This is Martha Evans, 32. She had been walking for three days. Her husband died of tuberculosis in Oklahoma in May. The farm was foreclosed. She took the six kids and a Radio Flyer wagon and started west for California. The twins in the wagon were 11 months old. The boys walking were 6, 5, 4, and 3. Her dress was torn on barbed wire. Her leg was cut and infected. She wrapped it with a feed sack. She had $1.60 in her pocket. A photographer from the Resettlement Administration saw them and pulled over. He offered her a ride. She said no. She said if she took a ride now, the kids would expect one every time they were tired. She gave him her name and kept walking. The photo ran in newspapers across the country. Donations came to a PO box in Barstow. She got $200 and a bus ticket. She made it to Bakersfield and picked grapes. All six kids lived. Three went to college. Martha died in 1978. The wagon is in the Smithsonian.

Japanese are absolute nuts about brass anywhere...

Interesting. The USMC has a couple of MQ-9 squadrons that can be called on...wonder why they haven't been deployed? or transferred!

GOD BLESS YOU SIR 🫵🏻🫡 My respect 96 years . 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 AMERICAN MADE . The GOAT !! Clint Eastwood Said Something About Getting Old That Stopped Me Cold. Aging is not gentle. You are still here. Still present. Still watching the world move. But the body that carried you through everything - the wars, the work, the wildness of youth - begins to ask for more than you can give it. Joints that never complained now speak up in the morning. Eyes that once took in everything now flinch at the light. Breathing, which never required a single thought, starts needing little pauses. But none of that is the hardest part. The hardest part is the quiet. At a certain age, you reach for the phone and remember there is no one left to call. The people who knew you when you were young - who remembered the same summers, the same streets, the same faces - are gone. One by one, then all at once, until the memories you carry have no one left to share them with. So you tell the stories anyway. To whoever will listen. With a little more color than perhaps the truth deserves. With a touch of pride you've earned and a grief you don't always name. You know the person across from you wasn't there. You know they can't quite feel it the way you do. But you tell them. Because the telling is the holding on. Those stories are not just memories. They are the proof that a life was lived. That people were loved. That things mattered. And if no one asks for them - you offer them anyway, quietly, like setting something down on a table and hoping someone picks it up. Old age is not simply what happens to a face or a body. It is memory looking for a place to rest. And what an older person needs - more than advice, more than solutions, more than someone telling them how to feel - is simply someone willing to sit down, be still, and listen. Not to fix anything. Just to be there. That is the whole gift. And it costs nothing. ~Wild Whispers .

Textron & General Dynamics ARV contenders side by side. Difficult to find the "new" Textron vehicle with the 30mm cannon. I suspect changing emphasis.The USMC emphasized recon/electronics, now firepower is big.Honestly thought this program would be canned.

Textron ARV contender...can't lie gents, this is the hometown team so they get a special nod from me. May the best vehicle win.

During the First Liberian War in 1992, General Joshua Milton Blahyi would lead his troops wearing only his shoes. He says the devil telephoned him at age eleven and told him that running into battle naked would make him impervious to bullets. Sometimes he and his soldiers would also don colorful wigs and dainty purses. He’s still alive, so I guess it worked. The devil also said it would be a good idea to practice human sacrifice and cannibalism to increase his power. Blahyi admits to sacrificing a small child or teenager before battles, including sometimes cutting out the heart and eating it. Today he is the president of the End Time Train Evangelistic Ministries, and he has repented his sins, blamed the devil for his actions, and expressed a willingness to be tried for war crimes.
