My grandfathers, their brothers, all saw active duty in a time of war and during other operations. Service helped them pay for medical school, law school, college but that wasn't why they served. They served because they love this country and it didn't come without sacrifice.

My family came to beautiful Monterey County for similar reasons. Community and further service. My grandfather's brother was here at the language school learning Portuguese. He was one of the youngest graduates of Iowa law school and rose to the rank of Colonel.

Their commitment to our Country always inspired me to do more - without fear or favor.
I've always been committed to the health of my home community because of the lessons I learned at the dinner table, or long conversations about the world and elsewhere.
Enjoy #VeteransDay

August 1943 AP photo of FDR at Bolling Air Field (Wash DC) awarding four B-24s to four crews of former Yugoslav Royal Air Force fliers adopted by the US Army Air Corps.
My dad, a lieutenant, was the navigator/bombardier on one of the planes. (2/)

Photo of one of the actual B-24s in my dad's squadron taking off from San Pacrazio in Italy in late 1943 -- likely headed for Ploesti oilfields or Bulgarian rail yards.
Only one of the four B-24s survived the war. (3/)

As for any shills who dare tarnish this day by repeating the #SuckersandLosers smear against our President @realDonaldTrump, please note that McClellan used that same lie against Lincoln in 1864. It didn't work then, and it's not working now.

Great men must always endure the slanders of envious mediocrities.
Even George Washington was not immune.
His honor and military achievements were vilely disparaged by the #FakeNews of his day.

Each year, @InteriorMuseum places ribbons alongside the official portraits of @Interior secretaries who are veterans of U.S. armed forces. In this thread, we’ll be sharing details of their service with you.

Since some have asked, here’s a THREAD highlighting the #housing/#homelessness coverage that earned @PressNH’s Dennis Joos Memorial Award.
I’ve pubbed 200+ stories since 2017, so this will be a sampling, including ones from the contest period.

This 15-part, multimedia-heavy series from @smgphoto and I kickstarted our coverage and many things.
(Note: It received 6 local, state, regional and national awards, inc. a @NENPA Publick Occurrences and a 1st place investigative award from @nnaonline.)

A few weeks later, as dialogue was building, a historic 14-day cold snap hit, endangering countless folks. The Seacoast’s 1st-ever emergency walk-in shelter was opened. @smgphoto and I reported there nearly every day. Here’s the Jan. 2018 day it ended.
