Don Steinbrunner and Bob Kalsu were NFL players who died while on active duty in the Vietnam War. Kalsu was still a member of the Buffalo Bills when he was killed in action in 1970. Let's honor these American heroes.

Kent State happened 56 years ago today. We remember "Four dead in Ohio," but let us also remember their names... Allison B. Krause, 19. William Knox Schroeder, 19. Sandra Lee Scheuer, 20. Jeffrey Glenn Miller, 20.

He left for college with a best friend waiting at home. He came back to find only a collar on a cross. The photo shows him years apart in the same yard. In the first, he’s just a kid lying in the grass with the puppy he grew up with. In the second, he’s a college-aged man lying beside the dog’s homemade grave, with the collar still hanging from the wooden cross. His family said the dog passed while he was away at school, and he never got the goodbye he thought he had more time for. When asked why the photo hit so hard, one person said it best: “The hardest part of loving a dog is they give you their whole life, but you only get to give them part of yours.”

I guess the DeVaux sisters have a funny way of being one for one to start their careers off… mine happened to be at aqueduct and she made her count in Kentucky… I am so proud to be her sister (and competition sometimes)… dream big

He really hit the gas until he saw who was in that lane. 😭🚓

The power of a woman to man🔥 Look how she cooled down this bull 🐂

Good bye @KentuckyDerby 5th place finisher Danon Bourbon! Headed back to Chicago to catch a flight back to Japan. Thank you for giving us a thrilling stretch run. You ran your heart out. The only one who could handle the pace and hang on. See you in Japan soon, I hope!

German Major Josef Gangl taken by an American photographer on May 4, 1945. The following day, he was killed while shielding former French Prime Minister Paul Reynaud, fighting alongside American soldiers and French prisoners against SS forces. On May 5, 1945, less than a week after Adolf Hitler’s suicide and just three days before Germany’s unconditional surrender, one of the strangest battles of World War II took place at Castle Itter. The castle had been converted into a high-security SS prison for prominent French prisoners, including former prime ministers Édouard Daladier and Paul Reynaud, senior military leaders, Charles de Gaulle’s sister, and tennis champion Jean Borotra. As Germany collapsed, the guards fled, but the surrounding Austrian countryside was filled with groups of roaming SS and soldiers looting and killing civilians. Fearing for their lives, the prisoners sent out messengers for help. One reached the nearby town of Wörgl and connected with the Austrian resistance, who introduced him to Major Josef Gangl. A decorated soldier, ordered to fight to the last man, Gangl turned against the Nazi cause, and he and his men took up arms to protect civilians. When he heard about the prisoners, he agreed to help. On May 4, Gangl and his men linked up with U.S. forces from the 23rd Tank Battalion. Lieutenant John C. Lee Jr. didn’t need much convincing. With a small force, just a handful of soldiers and a single tank, they headed to the castle, arriving that evening. Hours later, a far larger SS force attacked. What followed was an almost implausible stand: American soldiers, Wehrmacht troops, Austrian resistance fighters, and the French prisoners fighting side by side. Despite Lee's order to stay out of it, the prisoners grabbed weapons and joined the defense. During the battle, Gangl was killed while pulling Reynaud to safety, the only defender to die. The group held out through the night, but by morning, they were low on ammunition. In a desperate move, Borotra volunteered to vault the castle walls and seek reinforcements. He made it. Just as the SS prepared to bring anti-tank guns to bear on the castle, American reinforcements arrived, routing the attackers and capturing around 100 SS troops. One of the two instances in the war where U.S. and German soldiers fought side by side, and one of the last battles in the European theater.

May the 4th be with you 🫡

I sold Ocelli for 12k, yesterday he ran 3rd in the @KentuckyDerby & won 500k. And gues what? I'm celebrating. Because of what this means for everything we still have. Ocelli's brothers just became a lot more valuable. His mom Zalia is now a queen. The bloodline we've been building for years just got validated on the biggest stage in racing. One horse running 3rd at @ChurchillDowns does more for your breeding program than a decade of "he has potential" conversations ever could. But there's a bigger lesson here. Everyone passed on Ocelli because he had a "weird gait." Moved different. Didn't fit the template. Turns out that weird gait was elite. Top 3 in the world elite. The market constantly undervalues things that don't fit the mold. In horses. In real estate. In people. The ones who move different aren't always broken. Sometimes they're just built for something the rest of us can't see yet.

A 3 year old child accidentally fell into a pool inside a residential complex, but within 57 seconds a neighbor from the 8th floor raced downstairs leapt into the water and rescued the child just in time

Before GOLDEN TEMPO won the #KentuckyDerby, his dam CARRUMBA had her own graded stakes moment in New York. Here she is winning the 2016 G3 Top Flight Invitational at Aqueduct. Ten years later, her son won the Derby. And the jockey aboard both? Jose Ortiz🌹

‘Groom’ at the Kentucky Derby is referring to the person who takes care of the horse every day. Feeding, cleaning, walking, checking for injuries. They know that horse better than anyone. Low key one of the most important roles behind the scenes.

A warm reception for the 2026 Kentucky Derby winner GOLDEN TEMPO who returned home to Cherie DeVaux’s barn at Keeneland this morning 🥰 #KyDerby

This is what happiness looks like..🐕🐾🧒😍

Somebody is feeling relaxed and happy on his day off. Bath pictures to follow 😉
