UPDATE from @USCGHeartland: Working closely with our partners, the USCG has confirmed all passengers are accounted for, with no reported casualties following the collision on the MS River. Our focus now shifts to safely reopening the river and coordinating salvage operations.

On this Veterans Day, let’s remember and honor those who served our country—and remember what they fought for.
They did not fight so that we could hand our country over to Communists and Islamists. To defend our nation and our Republic, we must stand and fight harder than ever before.

Freedom is not free. Today and every day, we honor and thank the men and women who have served our country.
This Veterans Day, we invite you to visit the National Mall, where we remember generations of Americans for their service and sacrifice.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is under attack—and it’s by Republicans! For the life of me, I don’t know why Republicans eat each other. I believe the real reason they are coming after Secretary Hegseth is because he has taken on the anti-God, woke, and DEI initiatives that the Biden administration had pushed down the throats of our military. Since Secretary Hegseth has been at the Pentagon, he’s been cleaning house—and millions of Americans are grateful. I encourage everyone to pray for him, that God would give him strength for this difficult hour. @SecWar

Secretary of State Marco Rubio @SecRubio has made the correct decision in ordering Lebanon’s consul general in Detroit, Ibrahim Charara, to leave the U.S. immediately for his posts praising the 1983 Hezbollah bombing of U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut that killed 241 Americans.
We do not tolerate terrorists or their sympathizers as diplomats to the United States.
This disgusting rhetoric should be condemned by the Lebanese government.

Armistice Day, 11 November 1940. Chief of the Imperial General Staff Sir John Dill lays a wreath at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. A low key event - a few pressmen attend, and a poppy collector and a few passers by watch. Traffic is held up temporarily.

The bravery of those who fought in the Battle of Leyte Gulf during World War II is the foundation upon which our Navy stands.
Today, we honor the legacy and valor of those courageous warfighters who participated in the largest naval battle in history.

Today, the Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial joins the National Mall’s living history. 35 years after these operations, the memorial provides a permanent place to honor the service and the sacrifice.

On Saturday, the Desert Shield and Desert Storm Memorial opens in Washington, D.C., honoring the courage and sacrifice of American servicemembers who answered the call to defend freedom and helped liberate Kuwait.
Their service will never be forgotten.

Congratulations to the Auglaize County Historical Society for their purchase of Neil Armstrong’s boyhood home. This will certainly be a great new public asset in our community.

Others lean on what they can see — strength, money, influence. We lean on a Name that has never failed.

Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists carried out the October 7 attacks, killing nearly 1,200 people and taking hundreds hostage. Today, we remember the innocent lives lost and stand with the Jewish people as we reflect on President Ronald Reagan’s unwavering commitment to Israel.

Manistee, MI, was recently designated the 38th @USCG City, recognizing its enduring relationship with the Coast Guard. Since 1879, when it became a U.S. Life-Saving Service station, Manistee crews have safeguarded #LakeMichigan & supported the community alongside local partners.
