I might not know what to do next.
I might not know which direction to move.
I might not see the path ahead.

But one thing I know without a doubt… GOD ALWAYS SHOWS UP. 🙏

When the road gets dark, when the mission gets tough, and when everything feels uncertain, I don’t need to have all the answers. I just need to have FAITH.

I’ve seen Him make a way when there was no way. I’ve seen Him open doors I didn’t even know existed.

The mission might be unclear, but the Commander never is.

KEEP THE FAITH. KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

DEATH FROM ABOVE. 💀🪂

📍Filthy 13 Memorial, Brévands

WHAT3WORDS: sinewy.tucked.comets

The memorial to the Filthy 13 of the 101st Airborne, who were a demolition team from the 101st Airborne Division - the famous Screaming Eagles - who jumped into Normandy on D-Day.

Nicknamed the Filthy Thirteen due to their living style while stationed in England, they stood out from the other paratroopers due to their war paint and mohawk haircuts - paying tribute to team member Jake McNeice’s Native American heritage.

This memorial near Brevands, Normandy honours their sacrifice during their successful mission to secure or destroy the bridges over the Douve River.

Do any of these give you chills?? Band of Brothers! Easy Company! 101st Airborne Division! Screaming Eagles! Battle of the Bulge! If you still need more to prepare you for battle, here’s some more: 82nd Airborne Division! Bastogne! Luxembourg American Military Cemetery! Bastogne Museum! Foy! Bastogne! Luxembourg! Belgium! The Greatest Generation!

Our grandfathers fought so bravely to save the world from the Nazis, and they are beautifully remembered in Bastogne Belgium, the epicenter of the Battle of the Bulge. There is a powerful Monument & a state of the art interactive museum that leaves you spellbound. Three hours passed in the blink of an eye and we didn’t want to leave yet. Then we took a World War II Jeep tour to the Crossroads and then Jack’s Woods (the famous Bois Jacques) where I jumped into a foxhole, peering up and out on this chilly October afternoon, which gave me 1/100th of a sense of the unbearable cold and deprivation that the 101st Airborne had to endure when they were outnumbered and totally surrounded for 9 days through Christmas of 1944, yet pushed back the Germans.
We were in the 506th Regiment’s area, so maybe I was in one of the foxholes of Easy Company!
Or maybe even the foxhole of my Uncle Chuck Galletta & his buddy. Uncle Chuck was a hulking strong leader and took a bullet through his shoulder as he was firing his rifle, and his buddy 3 feet away also firing his M1 rifle took a bullet through his helmet and was killed instantly.
How could we ever not revere the sacrifices of these men? They were heroes!
*Uncle Chuck recovered and went on to play linebacker at Bucknell after the war. He told me his story at a family dinner 50 years later, after I returned home from the Gulf War in Iraq.
God bless the heroes who served. 🇺🇸🇧🇪🇬🇧

82 years ago, Operation Market Garden began.

On 17 September 1944, thousands of Allied airborne troops dropped into the Netherlands in one of the most ambitious operations of the Second World War. British, American and Polish forces were tasked with capturing a series of vital bridges, while British XXX Corps — “Thirty Corps” — advanced north to link up with them.

The ultimate objective was Arnhem and a crossing over the Rhine. Despite extraordinary courage and fierce fighting, the Allies were unable to secure the final bridge.

From the paratroopers at Arnhem and Oosterbeek to the soldiers fighting their way along Hell’s Highway, thousands were killed, wounded or captured. Dutch civilians also paid a terrible price.

17–25 September 1944.
Operation Market Garden.
82 years on, we remember them.

25 years ago Band of Brothers showed on HBO for the first time. This show provided hope for a country that days later dealt with 9/11. A story of brotherhood, determination and sacrifice to show that freedom is never free and if this show wasn’t made, we wouldn’t know about the legacy of the 101st airborne. And I’m grateful to visit these places a few years ago with my father bonding over our mutual love of WW2 history.
