For those that moved to the South, please say the following statement 25 times — “We DO NOT call the cops on kids doing donuts in empty parking lots.” We don’t do that. You don’t do that. Thank you.

On today's #MedalOfHonorMonday we remember the extraordinary heroism of U.S. Navy SEAL Michael A. Monsoor, who made the ultimate sacrifice during Operation Iraqi Freedom on September 29, 2006. While providing rooftop security in Ramadi, Iraq, a grenade bounced off his chest and landed in front of him. Though he could have escaped, Monsoor chose to shield his teammates from the blast, giving his life so they could live. For his selfless courage and devotion to his brothers-in-arms, he was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Petty Officer Monsoor’s sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

@davis_winkie @UNCArmyROTC So sorry Davis. This is a devastating loss of a truly great American.

I’m heartbroken to share that my friend Capt. Rebecca Lobach died in Wednesday evening’s crash near DC’s National Airport. Rebecca was brilliant and fearless, a talented pilot and a PT stud. We trained and commissioned together from @UNCArmyROTC, and we had a lot of fun along the way, too. We were both latecomers to the ROTC program, enrolling partway through the third year, and quickly bonded over being the new kids on the block. Rebecca and I were in a training platoon together by coincidence during summer basic camp at Fort Knox in 2018. On “branch day,” when the cadets got to explore the different Army officer career paths, she and I were walking together through a field where a bunch of helicopters were parked. She was a few feet in front of me when she stopped, turned, and pointed out an MH-6 Little Bird (an incredibly small helicopter!). She shot me a mischievous smile and said something like, “Think we can both fit?” My dear readers: I am 6’6”, and Rebecca (a former college basketball player) is at least 5’8”. But I’ll be damned if we didn’t somehow stuff ourselves into that cockpit. My neck hurt, and I don’t think we would’ve been able to fly it very well, but we were both beaming in the selfie she took. Our Linda’s Downbar trivia team — Two Man, Two Woman Wolfpack — was rarely victorious but was never defeated. “Not Last!” was our team motto. We sucked at the music round because all four of us had identical taste. Rebecca played a crucial role in helping me navigate the hardest periods of my personal life. Our friend group sustained me and kept me engaged when every fiber of my being wanted to just go numb to this world. I owe her so much. We stayed in touch after she commissioned as an active duty Black Hawk pilot, and I as an HR officer in the NC Army National Guard. After I went into journalism, she would call me when I wrote a funny or interesting story. I wish we’d taken a photo together when we had lunch a year ago. I wish I’d remembered to invite her to a party I hosted a week ago. I wish she weren’t dead. You are so missed, Rebecca. This world won’t be the same without you.

Today, we join with our fellow Americans around the world to reflect on the events of September 11, 2001. We honor and remember the lives lost, the heroes that emerged, and the strength and resilience of a nation that stood united in the face of unimaginable tragedy. We are grateful for those who have since answered their country’s call to serve, and we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to protecting our freedom and the American way of life.

Today is a joyous day for the safe return of our colleague Evan Gershkovich. We are so grateful for all the voices that were raised when his was silent. We can finally say, in unison, “Welcome home, Evan.” Read a letter from @emmatuckerWSJ. on.wsj.com/3YyEHux

We tuned into the first GOP debate last night, and we were particularly interested in what candidates had to say on #ForeignPolicy & #NationalSecurity. Take a look at our latest blog post for our thoughts: steerpr.com/steer-blog/rep…
