America, sleep soundly tonight. The Soldiers of Bravo Company will tuck you in with the power of freedom and all that it offers. They will ask nothing in return of you and it is likely they never will. When you see these few, these happy few, tell them you love them for their sacrifice and that you slept well tonight.

Today is the day we remember the brave men and women who died to keep us free.
At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, the guns fell silent across Europe, and European countries observed Remembrance Day to honor the dead of World War I. Americans treat it as Veterans Day because we already have our Remembrance Day, which we call Memorial Day. So many men were killed in the Civil War that the nation first began Memorial Day observances, not celebrations, on May 30, 1868. Congress, in the 1960’s, affixed it to the last Monday in May.
More Americans died in the Civil War than in all other American wars combined until, in the Obama Administration in the twenty-first century, the death toll of all others combined surpassed the Civil War.
The Civil War was fought by overwhelmingly white men to free the slaves. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves
They did not die for wokeness or radical terror groups to march in our streets, and they didn’t die to open the borders to criminals who come to be shielded in sanctuary cities.
Our courageous freedom fighters didn’t die so we could turn our sovereignty over to people who hate us.
They put their lives on the line for all Americans, and they ask for nothing in return. Their bravery and sacrifice must always be remembered.
“Show me the manner in which a nation cares for its dead, and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender mercies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals.”
~ Sir William Ewart Gladstone
How we treat our dead reflects our rule of law, our value of life, and our commitment to the high ideals on which this nation was founded.
Remember, freedom isn’t free. Don’t let it slip away. Be courageous. Remember what we stand for and why these men died for us.
Honor their memory and the greatest sacrifice any person can make. They didn’t die to turn us into communists.
Celelbrate, but remember them.
Remember the reason for
Memorial Day… 🙏♥️🇺🇸🫡 pic.twitter.com/EBVvhEDSsW— Farm Girl Carrie 👩🌾 (@FarmGirlCarrie) May 22, 2026
Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.
