101-year-old World War II veteran Don Graves — the last surviving flamethrower operator from his battalion, which fought on Iwo Jima — sings “God Bless America” at the National Memorial Day Parade.




Oh dang. This should be interesting




The exhaustion of being a mom and a wife🥲🤧 it's two different responsibilities

SSG Kevin Pape was killed in action while serving as a squad leader in 3rd Platoon, Charlie Company, 1st Ranger Battalion, on November 16, 2010, in Afghanistan. I remember Kevin as one of the best young Ranger NCOs I ever served with. He loved leading Rangers and did so until the end. He was also hilarious and the life of the platoon. He would “borrow” beers from the fridge in the platoon CP and replace them with Busch Lights. He is truly unforgettable, and his memory still brings those of us who served with him together every year around Thanksgiving. Remembering him the way he would want to be remembered. One for the Airborne Ranger in the Sky!

Just so you don’t need to be corrected today, and with respect, don’t wish combat veterans Happy Memorial Day. It ain’t happy.


Visited Sec 60 at Arlington today and stopped at Sgt Nicole Gee's grave, who died at Abbey Gate five yrs ago in August. One of the 13 US and 160 Afghans lost. She's remembered today with flowers and Fireball whisky...Semper Fi..



Memorial Day is a psyop. Some crooked whore of a politician standing over a grave stone waving a flag thanking Americans for dying because of lies "The intelligence community said Iraq has WMDs" Thousands of lives, trillions of dollars...

George Floyd deserves to be buried in Arlington Cemetery with the rest of America’s fallen heroes.


Real talk—Memorial Day. This weekend is a tough one for a lot of us. It’s easy to find yourself in a dark place, asking “why?” Why them? Why not me? Why were we there in the first place? You’re allowed to do this, but I always tell people to focus on two simple things this weekend: 1. Remember them the way they would want to be remembered. 2. Do them proud. You can’t change the past, you can only move forward. Do it for them.
