U.S. Army Rangers, Pat Tillman and his brother Kevin, during Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. Today we honor the memory of Pat Tillman who was killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004. We shall never forget this true American hero. 🇺🇸 “Somewhere inside, we hear a voice. It leads us in the direction of the person we wish to become. But it is up to us whether or not to follow.” - Pat Tillman

5 years ago, I woke up, not knowing it was our final day as a family,
I've learned so much, since that day
If I could press rewind, there's a million things I'd have done differently,
I'd have told you how amazing you are
How much you mean to me
And how ending your life wouldn't end the pain that was overwhelming you
Today, we carry that load
And we will continue to, until our last breaths
So to anyone struggling,
Please stay.
Please fight.
Please give it all you've got.
And if it gets dark,
Reach out.
Feeling pain doesn't mean you're weak
I promise, you aren't the only one.

In loving memory of
Army Ranger Veteran Garrett Briggs
July 31, 1989- January 31, 2018

Heavenly Father, bless and protect Military Chaplains and fill them
with the joy and courage of their vocation as personal ministers of
Christ in preaching your word and nourishing us with the Sacraments.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Just watched the movie Dog with Channing Tatum and ended up in tears. It’s a surprisingly emotional movie about a veteran man and a veteran dog “Lulu”, both traumatized and broken in different ways from their years of service in the Army Rangers. He is tasked with taking her to the funeral of her former handler, another ranger who ended up killing himself by driving his car into a tree. Somewhat predictably they begin to bond and heal together. What’s unexpected is how sincere and real it gets, and how it sneaks up on you. This happens mostly by watching the beautiful dog, her behavior, reactions, expressive face and her slowly learning to trust Tatum. It’s touted as a comedy, but at the very least it’s a dramedy with a great depth of genuine sentiment and respect for veterans, especially men and women who served and paid a steep price, both mentally and physically. It’s very much worth the watch, but be prepared to be affected.

—Did you know that Juneteenth is also celebrated in a part of Mexico? Nacimiento Mexico was once home to thousands who escaped slavery in the US. As many as 10,000 slaves followed a clandestine Southern Underground Railroad to Mexico. —To date, many Black Mexicans from the Texas area retrace a portion of the same route their African American ancestors followed in 1850 when they escaped slavery. —Descendants of slaves who escaped across the southern border observe Texas’s emancipation holiday with their own unique traditions in the village of Nacimiento. —Slave hunters would patrol the southern border for escapees, led by the Texas Rangers but the Mexican army would be there waiting for them (the slave hunters) to turn them away.

On today's edition of "my dad has met so many crazy prople in his life that if he wrote a book and based characters on them he'd be accused of making them unrealistic", I was trying to find info about a different robbery when I came across this article from 14 years ago and remembered that my dad told me this story and that he worked with one of these men.
