This… It is such a pity that so many seem to have no concept of duty, honor, and country today. More selfless service…less selfish “serve me!”
On June 2, 2025, Sergeant of the Guard Sgt. 1st Class Andrew Jay took his final walk as a Tomb Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. In a powerful farewell, he laid roses at each crypt of the Unknown Soldiers, then walked off the plaza hand in hand with his 8-year-old son, Finn.

Excited for Ms. Eilers! ICLE does incredible work and is a blessing to classical, Catholic education.
This week our amazing Principal, Ms. Eilers, is attending the Institute for Catholic Liberal Education High School Leaders Forum in Scottsdale, Arizona. Ms. Eilers is spending quality time learning and sharing with classical Catholic high school leaders from around the country.

Most Catholic schools never gave it up. 😉
Bring back the Pledge of Allegiance & the national anthem in the classroom - daily.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
47 of 50 U.S. states already require a daily recital of the pledge of allegiance in public schools. However, due to the First Amendment of the Constitution’s protection of freedom of speech, students have the option to opt out. thehill.com/homenews/32567… en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Virg…

Congratulations to every single person on the left who’s been campaigning to destroy women’s and girls’ rights. Without you, there’d be no images like this.

Chills and tears!
This woman just sang "America the Beautiful" a cappella, unplanned, at the Presidential inauguration. Shook both Presidents' hands from different parties and brought the Country together. The Queen @carrieunderwood NAILED it! 👏🥹

Amen!!

No speed records broken- but that wasn’t the goal. Validating a fitness level- being able to go out on any given day and go five miles at a modest pace without needing it to be a 100% effort. Mission accomplished. 😉
