Today, we lost one of the Greatest Generation.
WWII Veteran Dennis Boldt has passed away.
Dennis served as a 90mm anti-aircraft gunner with General Patton's Third Army during World War II. He stood in defense of freedom during one of history's darkest moments and carried that legacy with humility for the rest of his life.
Rest easy, Dennis!! Your service, sacrifice, and example will never be forgotten.

She was 27 years old. A first grade teacher. The kind of person who chose to spend her days with six and seven year olds because she loved them that much.
On December 14, 2012, Victoria Soto heard gunfire inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.
She did not run. She did not freeze.
She moved. Fast. She hid her students in cabinets and closets, pressing fingers to lips, keeping them silent and still while the world outside her classroom door became unthinkable.
And then the gunman walked in.
Victoria Soto looked at him and told him her students had gone to the gym.
They were three feet away from her, hidden, holding their breath, listening to their teacher's voice stay calm in the most uncalm moment imaginable.
She was shot and killed seconds later.
The children she hid did not make a sound. They survived.
There is no training that prepares a first grade teacher for that moment. There is no manual, no drill, no scenario that tells a 27 year-old woman exactly what to say when a gunman walks into her classroom. Victoria Soto acted on instinct, on love, and on a decision made in a fraction of a second that saved the lives of the children in her care.
She is buried in Stratford, Connecticut. Her former students are now teenagers. They are alive because of what she did.
Some people are remembered for what they built.
Some for what they achieved.
Victoria Soto is remembered for what she gave.
Everything.
Say her name today. True American hero

It was November 1967 in Vietnam. Gary Wetzel was a helicopter door gunner. His job was brutally simple to protect the aircraft and the soldiers below.
As Wetzel’s helicopter flew into heavy enemy fire, an RPG slammed into the aircraft. The blast ripped through the cabin. Metal tore into his body. One of his arms was almost completely destroyed. Medics rushed toward him. The Pilots prepared emergency evacuation. Most men would have prayed to survive.
Wetzel pushed them away.
“No,” he said. Leave me.”
Then he grabbed his machine gun with his remaining hand and kept firing.
For more than thirty minutes, Gary Wetzel stayed in the open doorway of that helicopter while barely conscious. But enemy forces were closing in on American troops below, and if the helicopter pulled away too early, soldiers on the ground would be trapped.
So Wetzel stayed.
He fired continuously and stopped enemy positions buying time for wounded soldiers to escape alive.
Pilots begged him to stop. Medics pleaded with him to let go. Only after the last troops were safely out did his body finally collapse. Doctors later said he should never have survived his injuries. He lost his arm permanently. He lost years of health. But dozens of soldiers made it home because he refused to abandon them.
Gary Wetzel later received the Medal of Honor. When people called him a hero, he gave the simplest answer possible.
“I was just doing my job.”

Today, we are sharing the story of another resilient warrior who was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, Kennie Kelly.
Chief Warrant Officer 5 Kelly, a Master Aviator, was involuntarily separated in September 2022 after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine. Following the release of EO 14184, he worked directly with the dedicated @USArmy COVID-19 Reinstatement & Reconciliation Task Force to return to service. With support from the Task Force - and under the leadership of @SecWar & @SecArmy - CW5 Kelly was reinstated in February 2026 with full relief, including backpay, duty station preference, entitlements, benefits, and constructive service credit.
He now serves alongside his three sons, each carving their own path in the @USArmy, @USNavy & @USAirForce. Said CW5 Kelly, “Putting the uniform back on is an absolute honor that truly feels like coming home. Though the COVID separation was a difficult chapter, it ultimately deepened my dedication to the @DeptofWar mission and the nation I serve.”
Welcome back, CW5 Kelly. Hooah!

Today, Democrats’ witness claimed she’s never heard of the rape gangs that have terrorized communities across the United Kingdom — crimes committed in many cases by men from Pakistan and other Middle Eastern countries who exploited weak immigration policies.
Instead of confronting reality, Democrats continue to dismiss concerns about the dangers of Sharia law and Islam coming to the U.S.

🕊️ Remembering Ian Richard Olson.
After battling lymphoma for 10 long years, Ian finally received the news he had fought his entire childhood to hear — he was cancer free. He was only 18 years old and had his whole life ahead of him.
Just one week later, on December 21, 2018, Ian was shot in the back of the head during a robbery in Portland. His killer, Jeremiah Hannon, was 15 years old and reportedly admitted he did it simply because he “felt like it.”
Ian dreamed of the life so many take for granted — getting married, having a family, building a future. That future was stolen from him forever.
Now, the person who murdered him is scheduled to walk free before turning 25.
At some point, society has to stop pretending someone is “too young to understand” when they are fully capable of pulling a trigger and taking an innocent life.
Never forget Ian Olson. 🙏

July 3, 1967, Laos, Vietnam Sergeant Leo E. Seymour disappeared into the shadows of a secret war most Americans never even knew existed.
Before joining the Army, Seymour had already spent four years in the United States Marine Corps. He later advanced through Army ranks and training until being assigned to MACV-SOG’s Command and Control Detachment in 1967. MACV-SOG was not an ordinary unit.
It was a highly classified joint-service organization conducting covert operations deep inside enemy-controlled Laos and Cambodia. The missions carried names like “Shining Brass” and “Prairie Fire,” but the men who walked them simply knew they were among the most dangerous assignments in Vietnam.
Recon teams operated in tiny groups far beyond friendly lines. No uniforms identifying them. No public acknowledgment and often no immediate rescue if things went wrong.
On July 3, 1967, Seymour led Recon Team Texas roughly ten miles inside Laos in Attopeu Province. While halted on a hilltop, the patrol spotted enemy troops moving along a nearby trail. Seymour called in an air strike, then repositioned his men to set an ambush along a secondary trail in the Dale Xow River Valley. Then everything unraveled.
Enemy columns moving through the area noticed a psychological warfare poster left behind by the patrol. Realizing something was wrong, they began searching the jungle and suddenly spotted one of the reconnaissance team’s security men. The jungle exploded in gunfire.
Outnumbered and under intense attack, the patrol fragmented into small groups trying to break contact and survive. When the survivors regrouped, Leo Seymour was gone. No one knew whether he had been wounded, captured, or killed.
Years later, reports identified his last known location near grid coordinates YB575326, but enemy threats prevented ground teams from fully searching the area.
Staff Sergeant Leo E. Seymour remains one of those still missing from that conflict.
