He was honored for actions during a harrowing 2015 hostage rescue, but it was not his first. As a young private, he'd participated in the operation to free Pfc. Jessica Lynch from Iraqi military captors. There were other hostage rescues in between.

With more rumors of ISIS leader al-Baghdadi's death, I decided to see if @CJTFOIR had any indications. This response made me LOL.

Marine Corps recruits can get paranoid. All eyes are on them, ready to call out the tiniest screw-up. (“Hey RECRUIT!”) Repercussions can be harsh. So they try to blend in. But that was impossible for Seth Vilayvahn. Everyone seemed to know his name: “Seth from the gym.” 🧵👇

The outpouring of emotions for the service members killed Thursday in Kabul is gutting, but this elegiac post by a good friend of Sgt. Nicole Gee (left in the baby photo, and walking escorting evacuees to the jet) is the most heartbreaking I've read.

Her career hit a wall. 14 years in, Sgt. 1st Class Ashley Hackley got passed over for 30+ Army positions. Why? A low score on an entrance exam... When she was 17. And caring for her dying dad. The score wasn’t her. Not now, leaders said. But retest & risk a lower score? 🧵👇

The 13-week All Arms Commando Course has a high failure rate. But Capt. Joseph Brown not only passed it, he was named the top student. Now he gets to wear the Royal Marines’ famed green beret. Plus his fellow students voted to award him the Commando medal.

For six days, JFK and his crew "subsisted on coconuts and hope" until they could get a message to the Navy--hopefully carved into one of those coconuts. In return, the Navy sent just one boat, PT 157, skippered by William F. Liebenow.
