COL Bernard J. McCabe, Jr. and CSM Richard L. Davis presented me with the Delta Colors on 19 October 1995. It is a high honor.

🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know D-Day Edition: John J. Pinder Jr.
Technician Fifth Grade John J. Pinder Jr. landed on Omaha beach on his birthday. He didn’t make it off.
Born June 6, 1912, in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, Joe Pinder was the oldest of three children. His father worked in the steel industry.
He graduated as valedictorian of Butler High School in 1931.
Pinder spent the next several years as a right-handed pitcher in the minor leagues.
He played six seasons in the farm systems of the Cleveland Indians, New York Yankees, Washington Senators, and Brooklyn Dodgers.
In 1941 he won 17 games and was still chasing a shot at the major leagues when the war came.
He entered the Army in January 1942 after Pearl Harbor.
Assigned as a radio operator with the 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division, he fought in North Africa and Sicily.
In Sicily he earned a Bronze Star for staying at an observation post under fire.
On June 6, 1944, Pinder landed with the first waves on Omaha Beach on his birthday.
Communications were shattered. His job was to get a working radio ashore.
He made it off the landing craft. They were 100 yards off the beach.
Then he was hit. A round tore into his face after only a few steps off the boat.
Pinder held the torn flesh of his face together with one hand, carried the radio with the other, and delivered the radio to his unit, while wading thru waste deep water.
That should have been enough. It wasn’t.
Weakened and bleeding, he turned around and went back into the surf and fire three more times to salvage communication equipment.
He even recovered another workable radio.
On the third trip machine gun fire hit him again, this time in the legs.
Still he kept going.
Weakening but exposed on the beach, he helped get the radios working so the men around him could call for support.
While doing so, he was hit for the third time and killed.
Medal of Honor. Posthumous.
It was presented to his father on January 26, 1945.
Pinder was initially buried in Normandy.
In 1947 his family brought him home to Grandview Cemetery in Burgettstown, Pennsylvania.
He was the only professional baseball player awarded the Medal of Honor in World War II.
John Pinder is an American Badass
Thank you, John! 🫡🇺🇸

Im in tears. WWII D-Day Veteran returns to Omaha beach in Normandy, France with an American Flag
AMEN 🙏
This was a single prompt, @claudeai . This is absolutely unacceptable. Prior to last week I almost never hit my limits with my paid plan.

Absurd slander against the SAVE Act.
Americans use ID every day to drive cars, purchase alcohol, tobacco, or firearms, travel on airplanes, conduct financial transactions, and a host of other things.
Democrats are terrified of secure elections. Why?
Thank you, Senator. As a constituent I very happy about this. We need to do whatever is required to get this bill passed and approve the Trump Administration’s appointments.
We voted to remove everyone who Biden allowed in illegally, secure our elections, and confirm Trump’s appointments. You are obstructing the agenda 80,000,000 Americans voted for, full stop.
Here’s a little preview courtesy @denverpost of what you can expect after the midterms if the @HouseGOP and @SenateGOP don’t stop being spineless cowards and actually move the agenda we elected them for forward.

Black America knows what lawlessness looks like.
We lived with it for decades.
You all know I live in a Blue City, ghetto.
Broken windows.
Open drug markets.
Repeat offenders cycling in and out.
Victims told to cope.
Families told to adapt.
Now the same people who abandoned our neighborhoods exported that chaos statewide. Illegals running around loose with less than zero cooperation from the state.
Cashless bail emptied jails.
Habitual offenders were put back on the Democrat run streets.
Police were restrained.
Prosecutors stopped prosecuting.
Then they layered mass illegal immigration on top of it.
No vetting.
No enforcement.
No accountability.
This is not compassion.
This is negligence dressed up as virtue.
Law is not oppression.
Order is not racism.
Borders are not hatred.
American Citizenship still means something.
Every Democrat community suffers when laws are optional.
Black communities just felt it first.
America is tired of it.
Black America is tired of it.
Working families are tired of it.
When state leaders refuse to enforce the law and chaos becomes demuxrat policy, the federal government has both the authority and the obligation to restore order.
The Constitution anticipated moments like this.
It did not require permission from activists.
Lawlessness is not progress.
It is surrender.

Every day, for the prior 4 years under the Biden Administration, our country was mass invaded and forcibly occupied by illegal aliens.
Innocent American children were raped, mutilated and murdered.
Entire towns (Springfield, Columbus, Eu Claire) were resettled. Entire neighborhoods were turned into refugee camps. Entire communities were transformed.
Schools and medical systems ravaged.
The treasury raided.
Walkable communities made unlivable.
Family parks made into crime scenes.
Communities scarred, besieged.
These are incomparable crimes against nation and citizen.
Yet, not one day in that long and brutal nightmare did the corrupt press show one tiny microscopic fraction of the outrage they now hurl at the brave HEROES courageously reversing this invasion in the face of unceasing far-left assault.
That is because the corrupt press is a key instrument in the Left’s quest for national dissolution.
