On this solemn day, we remember Pearl Harbor, a defining moment on December 7th, 1941, that reshaped our nation. It was not just an attack but a clarion call for unity and resilience, demonstrating the incredible strength of the human spirit. Reflecting on this pivotal history reminds us of the courage and sacrifices made. These are enduring lessons in perseverance and the cost of peace, urging us to stay vigilant and cherish the tranquility we enjoy today. We often underestimate the monumental battles behind such peace. As someone deeply involved in community service and self-improvement, I emphasize the importance of actively preserving these historical lessons. Pearl Harbor wasn't solely about military readiness; it was a collective awakening, revealing the potential within each of us to contribute to society selflessly. Today, let's honor those who fell by embracing a spirit of enduring hope. We should instill responsibility in younger generations, ensuring they learn from history and shape a future transformed by awareness, not repetition. By fostering learning and growth, we immortalize the values Pearl Harbor instilled in our nation. May this be not just a Day of Remembrance but a Day of Awakening, inspiring us to face today's challenges with the same resilience and courage as the heroes of the past. 🌟

Prior to the D-Day invasion, the last mission to France was at Dunkirk and troops became trapped; it was viewed a success only in that more troops were rescued than expected due to assistance from personal vessels aiding in the effort but it was, in fact, a rescue mission - Operation Dynamo. Knowing how Dunkirk turned out, the next move to make it onto French soil was critically important. Operation Overlord, a massive and ultimately successful effort for the allies to gain footing on mainland Europe, was being planned (the D-Day invasion) and it is believed it would have been a devastating endeavor to the allies if it weren't for many preemptive distractive efforts: -Operation Bodyguard (The idea to implement deceptions prior to D-Day) -Operation Starkey (a false allied amphibious invasion into the Boulogne area, in North France) -Operation Wadham (A false attack on Brest) -Operation Tindall (A false army believed to attack Norway) -Operation Fortitude (a fake army, when viewed from the sky, at Dover) ...as well as other subplan diversions, like Quicksilver. All of these were clever deceptive distractions and diversions. 5 days before the Normandy invasion, actors, a fake army (wood soldiers, inflatable tanks, etc), fake aerial attacks of the false invasion locations and false broadcasts (using intercepted German communications to their advantage) fooled the German leader, and his spies, into moving many troops from the Atlantic Wall at Normandy and mostly reinforcing Pas de Calais, and this was because they made Hitler believe General Patton would be handling the invasion at Pas de Calais from Dover. While there were losses at the beaches of Normandy, it is believed these would have been much worse if the German troops manning the area near Normandy remained and they were only relocated as a result of these clever schemes and diversions. Let's remember D-Day, most definitely, but let's also recall, remember and teach younger people about these many other efforts that made the D-Day invasions successful, and, this isn't all of them. #dday #normandyinvasion #operationoverlord #operationbodyguard #operationfortitude #operationstarkey #operationwadham #operationtindall #operationquicksilver #departmentofdefense #alliedtroops #military #june61944
On this day, we remember with gratitude all those who courageously fought for peace and liberty in the Battle of Normandy.

September 11, 2024 The border crisis has been moved, by the Biden/Harris Administration, across America to your state where your state tax dollars will have to deal with all the medical, hospital, educational, housing, crime and other costs for the millions of illegals. An army of terrorist “gotaways” are now in America. An estimated 100,000 gotaways a month, 1,200,000 a year. Are they criminals, sex predators, mentally ill, human traffickers, gang members, drug cartel members, terrorists or sleeper cells? An army of terrorists now in America will make the 911 World Trade Center look like a warm-up and no one is paying attention! Only 19 terrorists to take out the World Trade Center and we have over one million, per year, “gotaways” that crossed the border. Just think what 190,000 terrorists will be able to do. The border and America are not secure. Our cities are not safe. America is not safe.
Today, we remember the immense sacrifices made on September 11th, a day that forever changed our nation. We honor the bravery of the first responders, the strength of the survivors, and the memory of those who perished. On this Patriot Day, let us stand together in unity, as we always have, to remember and to proclaim: Never Forget.
