One thing I learned was that lives were changed through a sustained, dedicated, loving community. A functioning community doesn’t just provide love and resources...A functioning community includes elements of discipline and instruction as well. @DavidAFrench

“You may fire when ready, Gridley” is a famous Navy quote by Commodore George Dewey during the Battle of Manila Bay in 1898. He is the namesake of DLG-14/DDG 45. The Farragut-class guided missile destroyer launched at Bath Iron Works in 1958. #ThrowbackThursday #USNavy

Eight of the ships produced for Block V will include the Virginia Payload Module (VPM). The VPM will comprise four additional large-diameter payload tubes, increasing the fixed strike capacity of the ship by more than 230 percent.

Across the nation this #VeteransDay, we honor the service, sacrifice & commitment of those men and women who have worn the cloth of this great nation. If you believe as I do that there is a desire in every human heart to live in freedom, then this day is a special day.

SHAQ on China: “They know and understand our values ... and one of our best values in America is free speech. We’re allowed to say what we want to say and we’re allowed to speak up on injustices, and that’s just how it goes” “Daryl Morey was right”

No one -- 17, 27, or 107 years old -- has ever won the men's 1500 and 5,000 at the same European Championships. Now Jakob Ingebrigsten has, and he's done it by controlling the final 1k and running a pb of 13:17.06.
