U.S. Marine Corps CWO Richard Lake Holycross was killed in action on September 10, 1967 in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam. Richard was 36 years old & from Grove City, Ohio. H&S Company, 3rd Battalion, 26th Marines. Silver Star. Remember Richard today. He is an American Hero.🇺🇸
Absolutely...
22 years ago across three cities tonight, 3000 people went to sleep for the last time on this earth, some our co workers, some friends, some family, all without knowing they would indelibly change the world. We remember always. #NeverForget
Beautiful..love in action.
See this guy right here?
His name is Kahlief. At some point in time on Friday night, while working at the front desk at the Hampton Inn, Kahlief looked up to find a random kid standing in front of him asking if he’d like to see a card trick.
Let me tell you all the stuff Kahlief didn’t know.
He didn’t know that this little boy has autism.
That learning and doing card tricks is a passion of his because it helps to quiet and focus his brain as well as keep his hands busy.
He didn’t know that this little boy lost his dad a few years ago, has been on the waiting list for a ‘big brother’ for well over two years now, and lives with only his mom and sister, so very much misses interacting with male figures.
Kahlief didn’t know any of that, and was still kind enough to say ‘yes’.
He very easily could have told Colin he was busy, or to come back later, or any number of things, but he didn’t.
He allowed Colin to hang out at the desk with him for what felt like forever, watching Colin do card tricks and then showing Colin some tricks that he knew as well.
He paused when he needed to, when the phone rang or a customer came in, (in the pic he is on the phone, the person he was speaking to had him on hold), but he never once made Colin feel like he was a nuisance or a burden.
In fact, when we saw that he had returned for another shift the following day, he made it a point to let Colin know he was geared up and ready to go with more card tricks.
So this kind man took time out of his day again on Saturday, still not realizing what a huge impact he was having on Colin, because he was still completely unaware of all the things about Colin he did not know.
I love and live for feel good moments like this. It is so easy to be kind, yet seems to be such a rare occurrence these days.

I often post pictures of jet engines…this however, is my own engine. It’s my heart…which I’m happy to report is ‘purring’ like a vintage V8. Over the next few days I’m going to bore you with some cardiac health stuff. Those who know me will know that no male in my family has made it past 51, so I’m on a PB. Early access to AED is a passion of mine has driven much of my philanthropic efforts. Let’s see what you think this week. #HeartAttack #Health #WePilots

Brilliant thread on inclusive Teddy Bears for kids.. resources and ideas for lovies that reflect our kids / us. #Autism #InclusivePlaythings
Ryan loves his teddies he sits with them they are like his friends, seeing him with his Teddy has given me a idea , wouldn't be great if we had a autism Teddy complete with ear defenders and clothes with no labels etc ,these teddies could be used to help teach younger children about autism, each Teddy would be different and have a fact sheet highlighting the challenges and differences of that particular Teddy, because as we know no two autistic people are the same.
Good morning... Beautiful Friday...
Gorgeous start to the day at #Heathrow. Anyone doing some #aviation today?
