On September 11, 1777, American forces under General George Washington faced the British Army at the Battle of Brandywine here in Pennsylvania.
Though the battle ended in an American defeat, Washington`s soldiers stood their ground against a powerful enemy and continued the fight for independence.
Nearly 250 years later, we remember their courage, sacrifice, and determination in the cause of liberty.
9/11 - September 11, 2001 - The worst terrorist attack in U.S. history occurred as four large passenger jets were hijacked then crashed, killing nearly 3,000 persons. Four separate teams of Mideast terrorists, operating from inside the U.S., boarded the morning flights posing as passengers, then forcibly commandeered the aircraft. Two fully-fueled jumbo jets, American Airlines Flight 11 carrying 92 people and United Airlines Flight 175 carrying 65 people, had departed Boston for Los Angeles. Both jets were diverted by the hijackers to New York City where they were piloted into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The impact and subsequent fire caused both 110-story towers to collapse, killing 2,752 persons including hundreds of rescue workers and people employed in the towers. In addition, United Airlines Flight 93, which had departed Newark for San Francisco, and American Airlines Flight 77, which had departed Dulles (Virginia) for Los Angeles, were hijacked. Flight 77 with 64 people on board was diverted to Washington, D.C., then piloted into the Pentagon building, killing everyone on board and 125 military personnel inside the building. Flight 93 with 44 people on board was also diverted toward Washington but crashed into a field in Pennsylvania after passengers attempted to overpower the terrorists on board.
Twenty-five years ago, Americans awoke to what seemed like an ordinary September morning. We were getting ready for work, sending our children off to school, beginning the workday, or still asleep - with no idea that within hours, our nation and our lives would be forever changed.
We remember the lives taken, the heroes who ran toward danger, and the courage of a nation that stood together in the face of unimaginable tragedy.
Twenty-five years later, we still remember. We still honor. We will never forget
Never Forget. Who remembers exactly where they were on 9/11?
ONE YEAR LATER, WE REMEMBER CHARLIE KIRK.
Charlie Kirk was taken from this world far too soon, but they could never take away the legacy he left behind.
He stood for faith, freedom, family, and the American dream. He challenged a generation to speak boldly, stand firm, and never be afraid to defend what is right.
His life inspired millions. His voice awakened a generation.
Charlie may be gone, but his mission lives on.
Today, we remember him.�Tomorrow, we carry the torch.
THROWBACK THURSDAY: Operation Display Determination – Turkey
Here, I am pictured with Turkish soldiers during Operation Display Determination, a multinational NATO exercise involving American, Italian, and Turkish Marines conducting an amphibious landing near the Dardanelles. My unit, the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, deployed from Germany to serve as the Opposing Force (OPFOR). Much to the Marines` frustration, we successfully prevented them from achieving their objective. The full story is one for another chapter. #throwbackthursday
