We remember 🕊️
On the 11th hour, 11th day, 11th month 1918, the armistice was signed in a railway car in the Compiègne Forest in northern France. The "war to end all wars" was over. Today, on #VeteransDay2026 we remember, and honor all those who have served and sacrificed. #FreedomIsntFree 🇺🇸

In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
Yes to This!
America is tired of disrespect, lies, insults, name-calling, broken promises, and people who use religion as a puppet or power to enrich themselves. America wants honesty, to be heard, respect, and honest leaders—even for those who you disagree with…A lesson for @GOP and @TheDemocrats: Let’s work for We the People! Longer tables, all welcome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

On #Oleshky : These folks made it to Ukraine 👇
Residents evacuated from Russian-occupied Oleshky have now crossed the border into Ukraine and are safe.
The oldest person is 94, while the youngest is just over a year old. Another woman will celebrate her 49th birthday tomorrow.
Among those evacuated is a family who lived in a building devastated by shelling. Due to his health condition, the father couldn't get down from the eighth floor on his own, and the staircase had been destroyed. The family was cut off from food and water.
Another man survived 16 Russian drone attacks and four missile strikes on his home. One of the explosions occurred just a meter from the wall of his house.
The residents' pets were also brought to safety, including dogs, cats, a parrot, and even a raccoon.
