Happy Veteran’s Day! To all who have served or still serving, thank you. Transitioning to the civilian side can be difficult for the whole family. Listen toPart 2 of my interview with @DerekAbbey on how the system impacts our adult development. #miltwitter life-giver.org/s5-e19-legacy…

Derek Abby is the CEO and President of Project Recover. He is a badass Marine who combined his service with education to get his PhD in leadership. He since has gone onto help recover MIA's around the world and bring back our vets who were lost in war.. dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3…

What an honor to have the SecDef visit and honor one of the MIA sites located and documented by @ProjRecover
Two Sailors have since been repatriated from this site.
Today was a sobering reminder of the cost of great power conflict in human lives—72,000 Americans remain unaccounted for from #WorldWarII. Thank you for helping us honor our missing and fallen, @TommyRemengesau. #NeverForget #RockIslands #Palau

You can have the Iron Throne. I prefer my Obsidian Throne. @ Big Obsidian Flow instagram.com/p/CB_XVpBDSLk/… – at Oregon, USA
Sir Steve is an incredible human. I am so happy that the UK recognized him with this honor.
Cleared Ground Leader, Steve Ballinger, has been awarded the recognition of Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE). This is the third-highest ranking in the Order of the British Empire. We offer our heartfelt congratulations to Sir Steve for this incredible recognition.
This is pretty cool.
A game-changer for #underwaterarchaeology and #aviationarchaeology - Can't wait!! Fantastic work from @dakkaynak and @TreibitzL - Removing Water From Underwater Photography buff.ly/3hYF2ib
