Today, we remember the courage, the strength, & the sacrifice of those who gave their lives for our country, our constitution, our freedom.
Let us not forget their families who mourn them have also suffered.
Thank you

just learned that new NJ Gov-elect Sherrill is a fellow alum๐, & as she says in this interview, everyone in the military swore an oath to uphold the constitution
At Annapolis we were taught about the UCMJ, war crimes & following illegal orders
& as a reminder, every #veteran who voted for Dotard Tumor is a ๐ง๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ผ๐ฟ to their oath!
@acscricket sad news. i'm a huge Tom Stoppard fan. 'Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead' was my introduction to Existentialism in high school.
When my father visited me for the Army Navy game one year at the Meadowlands, we went to see his play 'Artist Descending A Staircase' in NYC afterwards. My father's favorite philosopher was Kierkegaard, so we had many wonderful discussions on existentialism.

UPDATE turns out the expelled midshipman sent a message from an IP that appeared to be at the Academy.
Another midshipman mistook a law enforcement officer for a threat and hit the officer with a training weapon. The officer shot that midshipman. He was flown to the hospital as a precaution.
