@StacyOnTheRight Ex USAF E3 AWACS. Thank you for sharing this story, and I thank them all for giving their all. 🇺🇸

In the summer of 1995 I was given a choice that I didn't know was life or death. I was a data systems analyst with the 33rd Fighter Wing out of Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. F-15Es. I tracked every break on every jet after the day's sorties, built the readiness reports, forecasted the trends from a little office right on the flight line. JP-8 in the morning air. Great people. I loved it. In my off hours I served on the base Honor Guard. We carried the caskets of fallen service members, fired the 21-gun salute, and folded the flag into a tight triangle to hand to a mother, a widow, a child. I have looked a lot of grieving families in the eye. I did not yet understand how close I would come to being the reason someone folded a flag for me. Late that summer I learned our unit was rotating to Saudi Arabia for Operation Southern Watch. They gave me a choice: deploy in January, or wait and go with the next rotation later in the year. My boyfriend at the time—my husband now—told me to just get it over with and go in January, when the desert "only" hits 105 instead of 120. So I said yes. The week before I shipped out, a quiet young Airman moved into the dorm room across the hall. A crew chief in my unit. We'd nod and say hey passing in the hallway but I never got the chance to really know him because we deployed the next week. I did my 93 days in Dhahran, lived in Khobar Towers with hundreds of other Americans, came home that spring on a 24-hour C-130 ride, got engaged, went back to the beach and the good Florida weather and ordinary life. My quiet neighbor deployed with the next rotation. The one I'd chosen not to be on. Two weeks before that rotation was set to come home, terrorists bombed Khobar Towers. Nineteen American Airmen were killed. Twelve of them were ours, from the 33rd. One of them was the quiet crew chief from across the hall—Airman 1st Class Peter J. Morgera, 19 years old, from Stratham, New Hampshire. Over the years I've wondered why my husband told me to go early. Why I came home and they didn't. There is no tidy answer. What I have is a responsibility—to make sure they are not just a number. So today, say their names with me. Eglin lost: MSgt Kendall K. Kitson, Jr. — Yukon, OK TSgt Daniel B. Cafourek — Watertown, SD TSgt Patrick P. Fennig — Greendale, WI TSgt Thanh Van Nguyen — Panama City, FL SrA Earl F. Cartrette, Jr. — Sellersburg, IN SrA Jeremy A. Taylor — Rose Hill, KS Sgt Millard D. Campbell — Angleton, TX A1C Brent E. Marthaler — Cambridge, MN A1C Brian W. McVeigh — DeBary, FL A1C Peter J. Morgera — Stratham, NH A1C Joseph E. Rimkus — Edwardsville, IL A1C Joshua E. Woody — Corpus Christi, TX Memorial Day isn't about the ones who came home. It's about them. I get to be grateful only because they paid for it. Say their names today. 🇺🇸

@racermx90 @pulpmx @Fat_Electrician It’s amazing that some of the same men that landed on and lived through the beaches of D-Day fought on to fight and live through the Battle of Bastogne or the Battle of the Bulge. Such incredible courage and sacrifice -The Greatest Generation is a very well deserved moniker 🇺🇸

@pulpmx If you are into military history look up @Fat_Electrician on YouTube. He does some awesome videos on individuals from mostly ww2 but some other US wars too.

Speaking of Memorial Day, I'm about 1/2 way thru this book. It's absolutely insane what these guys went through

@ns0n Got your post on for the day did you?

A cis, white, straight male billionaire not only being the most progressive candidate for California governor, but also giving the most compassionate answer about trans people, this gives me hope. California please don’t mess this up.

@RitaPanahi BOT POST

Please 🙏🏽

@LacksClass @SGTWipper1Each Ohhhh, we had our share of 🐄s, but we did have an exorbitant amount of beautiful females

@SGTWipper1Each Air Force. Their women look like models. Army girls look like Rosie O’Donnell

You go back in time and join the Military again, but you're forced to choose a different branch. Which one do you pick?

@BuzzPatterson Gulf War vet, dad is a Vietnam vet (1st Cav tunnel rat), grandfather was a Pearl Harbor Survivor…..Taps absolutely pierces me to my core.

Here’s another thing about military service…”Taps” absolutely kills me. Always has, always will. From my very first day in basic training to right now sitting on my couch. Fellow vets, how do they affect you? 🇺🇸

@ABC7 @abc7JoshHaskell While we are going back in candidates pasts……do a piece on this @ABC7

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt sat down with Eyewitness News for an interview last week, where @abc7JoshHaskell asked him about his past connections to conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. "We could go back 15 years. I've said a lot of dumb things. I've done a lot of stupid things in my life... I'm a different person," Pratt said. Read more: abc7.la/mFsVxE

@ZavalaA @CA_FPPC ……

I asked California Attorney General Rob Bonta about the concern around influencers promoting candidates for governor and lack of disclosure. He confirms his office has received complaints and will review them. "On first blush, this is squarely within purview of @CA_FPPC..."

I'll deliver on single-payer healthcare. I'll lower gas prices by making polluters pay and taxing Big Oil's windfall profits. I'll protect the environment and build California's clean, cheap energy future. I'll lower costs for Californians — I don't owe corporations a thing.

@CalNurses @TomSteyer

The choice for governor is clear. Vote for @TomSteyer! 🗳️

Pope Leo is right: The AI era demands moral clarity and urgent action from leaders everywhere. We can’t allow AI to be a technology that turns billionaires into trillionaires while putting millions out of work. Read my plan here: tomsteyer.com/issues/ai-poli…

@AWRHawkins Easy: Gen3 G17

If you could only have one Glock, which model would you take?

@Josh_Wahlers He’ll holeshot, lead 5 to 6 laps and end up with 7/11 finishes for 7th OA

This is easy. Jorge Prado is the only right answer.

On Memorial Day, we honor the brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We’re forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.

No matter where you are, no matter who you're voting for, really, you come together because we know we can't do the things we need to do alone. We need to do them together." This has always been the driving force of the iconic Dolores Mission, and it's the idea that has driven my whole life.

@MXGRyan Wait, is that a HONDA???? 😂

Are we thinking the US Honda's going to have some kind of look like this for Outdoors? 🧐

@MotoAftermath @MattBurkeen820 He went 15/12 for 13th OA at the season opener at Pala in 2023

I'm interested in the Olivera fella in the first 3 nationals. Guy is shredding in @MattBurkeen820 videos

@Grimmipoo @StarPlatinum_ Bwahahahaahahaha!!!!

@StarPlatinum_ Finally get to see how much these hoes rlly making

OnlyFans is Hacked 🚨 Apparently OnlyFans has been hacked and they're selling the complete database of 340 million users including data of content creators and consumers. The leaked data includes - Usernames and profile names - Email addresses - Phone numbers - Account creation dates - Follower/subscriber metrics - Creator/fan rankings - Linked social media profiles - Partial payment card metadata (last 4 digits of the card) The result of this is going to be a massive wave of extortion attempts against users
