There are just some photos that capture the essence of someone...a magnificent leader, yet unnoticeable & not the center of attention. CAPT Arleigh Burke, Commander DESRON 23 (seen in profile) reading on the starboard bridge wing of his flagship, USS Charles Ausburne (DD-570)

26 🇺🇸

If he sees his shadow there will be six more weeks of deployment.

Does not answer the question. End of story.

This pisses me off...I try to avoid disparaging Vets I disagree with, but this "Look, I served so my opinion matters more!" is a crock. Both of us got edu bennies via taxpayers. What makes our service more valuable than anyone who took student loans & contributes to society?

I rise in support of the brilliant on the ground reporting on Ukraine by Amna Nawaz of the PBS Newshour. In depth, right on point. The latest from Kharkiv is very moving. pbs.org/newshour/show/…

American Hero. RIP.
