The remains of U.S. Army Air Force Staff Sgt. Russell O. Chitwood of Hot Springs, Arkansas, have returned home, 83 years after his death. In 1943, Sgt. Chitwood was assigned to the 359th Bombardment Squadron, 303rd Bombardment Group, Eighth Air Force station in England. On January 3, 1943, Chitwood set out on a bombing mission over Saint-Nazaire, France. His B-17 was struck by anti-aircraft fire and ultimately shot down by German fighters. Of the ten men aboard, three were taken as prisoners of war, one was seen lost in the water, and six, including Chitwood, were declared missing and presumed dead. His remains were never recovered. In the aftermath, Chitwood was buried along the Bay of Biscay under a heartbreaking mistake: labeled only as “American serviceman Russel Thitwood.” Later, the American Graves Registration Command exhumed and relocated his remains with other fallen airmen to a U.S. military cemetery in France, where he was given the designation “X-330.” Deemed unidentifiable, he was laid to rest once more at Epinal American Cemetery, where he remained, unknown, until August 2023. Staff Sgt. Russell Chitwood received a proper military funeral on April 11, 2026 in Royal, AR. Rest in peace, Sir! We thank you for your service! #WeRememberThem

Belated happy 100th birthday to WWII veteran Hubbard H. Erickson, Jr., who celebrated this milestone on February 6, 2026. Born in River Forest, Illinois, Hub joined the U.S. Navy in 1943 at just 17. He later founded a trade show management company in 1952, traveled the world, supported numerous nonprofits, and built a beautiful family with his wife of 71 years, Joan. Thank you for your service and for a life of purpose, Hub. #Happy100 #GreatestGeneration #WWIIVeteran #WeRememberThem

Royce Williams —Medal of Honor recipient, Secret Soldier of the Korean War, and my hero - turns 101 today. On November 18, 1952, Royce singlehandedly shot down four Soviet MiG-15s and saved his fellow shipmates on the fabled USS Oriskany. Can we pray for him? A. Yes B. No

I had received some questions about President @realDonaldTrump's recent posts, and here are my thoughts: I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate. I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post. When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some. There were no spiritual references—no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad. And the illustration from someone else he reposted on Truth Social yesterday, I must say that I like the fact that this is a picture of Jesus whispering in his ear, or at least His hand on his shoulder, guiding him. We all need that—we all need to be listening to Jesus. Again, I think there is an attempt to spin this into something that it isn’t. Remember, President Trump didn’t draw this, he didn’t create it, he reposted it on his social media because he thought it was nice—I would have to agree. I’m not a Catholic, I’m an evangelical, but I appreciate how President Trump has defended religious freedom for people of all faiths, including millions of evangelicals and Catholics in the U.S. and around the world. He is the most pro-Christian, pro-life president in my lifetime, and he doesn’t shy away from it. I would hope that the President and Pope Leo can meet at some point, and that the Pope would have the opportunity to thank the President for his efforts to protect religious liberty for Catholics and people of all faiths.

OnThisDay in 1958, W. Kerr Scott died. As state commissioner of agriculture, Scott worked to bring electricity to rural areas and eliminate bacterial disease among cattle. Scott also worked to pave roads in NC and make legislation to finance the interstate highway system.

In the early morning hours of April 15, 1912, the Titanic sank after striking an iceberg in the North Atlantic. Over 1,500 people died, including 84% of men on board. Over 74% of women & 50% of children survived due to the "women & children first" rule.

@lippyent Headache in the morning!

Do you know why North Carolina is considered First in Freedom? It’s because 250 years ago today, the Fourth Provincial Congress of North Carolina unanimously adopted the Halifax Resolves. It was the first official action in the colonies that called for independence from Great Britain. For those of you keeping score, it’s what makes North Carolina the most badass of all the 13 colonies. 🇺🇸

HISTORY SETTLED IN NC !!! GREATEST APPRECIATION FOR A FAMOUS WW2 SHIP 🛳️.
