Having been to Normandy and seeing the way the locals show gratitude to the US is something I wish all US citizens could see. It’s humbling and beautiful.

This has to be the longest standing ovation for anyone or anything I have ever witnessed. 4000 high school students in Normandy, France standing to honor our World War II veterans. This area in northern France has not forgotten the events of 80 years ago. Honored and humbled…

The definition of Marine, the definition of hero. I only spoke to him a few times. He had deployed with my ex husband. It was clear in the way he spoke of his Marines the devotion and love he had for them. I’ll never forget the day when we found out. The world lost a good one. 💔

Many states are proposing taxing cars by the miles the drive. Let me tell you, rich people aren’t living an hour+ from work and driving 98 miles a day. It’s middle class and lower income who are forced to live farther away.

Simone Biles should be an example to military leaders (well any leader). She saw that she was a liability, she saw the toll it was taking in herself and her team. She put the team’s success above her personal pride. One key to a good leader is knowing when to step aside. She did.
