December 14, 2024 is Wreaths Across America Day. Each December, United States veterans are honored by placing wreaths on their graves. Truckers play a large part in this process by transporting wreaths to various cemeteries, and ICSA is proud to support this organization.

As a former Royal Marines officer, seeing this photo and and having visited the beaches where Op NEPTUNE took place is what drives home the sheer bravery of D-Day for me. But what makes it particularly resonate, is the complexity of the huge simultaneous land and sea actions. You see, amphibious assaults are a touch more challenging and uncertain than land ones (of the same era) when you imagine: > You’re in the darkness and after a freezing cold and rough sea transit (that probably started 4-8 hours beforehand), you might land some 50 metres from the shoreline and disembark into some quite deep and cold water (that slows you down and makes you even colder - see picture for what this might look like). > Trudge across metres of soft sand with your heavy gear and soggy / ill-fitting boots (that also exhausts you and slows you down) past casualties and with little / no cover from enemy gun fire. > Navigate barbed wire, explosive devices and traps (more things to slow you down and take you out of the picture). > Finally (and exhaustedly) attack heavily fortified machine gun positions (that likely have interlocking arcs of fire and built on elevated positions) and have been waiting months (if not years) for you to come and have a go (and thus itching for a scrap). The sheer graft and mental effort of blocking out all those obstacles is why I personally think about D-Day and owe so much to those who sacrificed everything 80 years ago today. #OperationNEPTUNE #DDAY #DDay80 📸 Digitally colorised image of "Into the Jaws of Death", a photograph by Robert F Sargent of the United States Army First Infantry Division disembarking from an LCVP (landing craft) onto Omaha Beach during the Normandy Landings on D Day during World War 2, June 6, 1944.

Great article about some wonderful new technology for the cemetery.
Big thanks to American Cemetery Magazine for covering Memory Anchor in its August 2024 edition with story by Allison Meier: “A headstone isn’t capturing the story of a person, and we wanted to find a way to give those stories back to the soldiers,” said Memory Anchor Co-founder Ryan Mullens, who served as a combat engineer in the Canadian Armed Forces Reserves. “That’s why we had the idea of using augmented reality to be able to project a picture by the headstone to humanize that person and create an empathetic connection. Whether someone passed a hundred years ago in a World War I battle or just a couple of months ago, there’s a need to preserve that memory. That’s an expression of honor and respect.” Along with AR, Memory Anchor also uses AI for things like scanning text on gravestones. However, they’re being sensitive to how they approach this technology and not using it to alter in any way the material that the software presents. “We’re trying to use it in the most practical ways, the most honest ways, the most integrity-fueled ways to enable that experience of being able to walk into a cemetery and scan any of those names,” said Memory Anchor Co-Founder Matthew Cudmore.

That will certainly change when the war is being fought in American towns cities and neighborhoods because they were asleep at the wheel and elected leaders who are incompetent. Then fighting over gender issues will be over. Survival will be the only thing left. If you do not wish this to be the case then now is the time to sober up and come to your senses. The best defense is a potent and decisive offense. I don’t believe in always being on defense. But when one goes on offense it should be sudden, completely devastating, decisive and final in its completeness. I don’t believe in providing even the slightest opportunity of our adversaries rising up a second time. We have been too timid and nice. We have been strapped with too many rules and regulations by those who wish to salve their weak consciences im double mindedness in leadership. No conflict is ended decisively by timidity. We have not been allowed to do it and have suffered for it and caused more suffering due to it. Hatred of war is good. Hatred of a false peace and complicity with it is necessary. We cannot be complicit with those who would have us bow before their lack of backbone and resolve. Nor can we allow ourselves to become devoid of mercy in the midst of war. It’s a delicate balance. War is called hell for a reason. False peace is complicity with hell allowing it to destroy unrestrained and without decisive consequences. Removing deterrance assures a greater more destructive war as sure as removing restraints upon a ravenous beast will only feed its ever growing appetites to devour. Lawlessness knows nothing but its insatiable hungers like that of the bottomless pit, and the terror of its total destruction. A false peace and the removal of deterrence feeds that bottomless pit while denying the consequences of doing so. As for people so too for the nation and nations. Othniel Max Daves

“How did we lose ‘ownership’ of our service members’ experience? Distance. No perceived threat to our everyday safety. #Terrorists are ‘out there’– but not here, not in our neighborhoods.” “We send service members off to wars we don’t feel a direct impact from; they come back to us changed and we aren’t sure why. A sanitized war means that we don’t know what war is like.” “We know war involves killing real people, but we close our eyes to the reality that war kills the spirit of the one who kills, too.” “Peripherally, we all know that civilians are killed. But we don’t want to know how it feels to have killed a child or watched it cry while its mother bleeds out.” “His war is his war. Yours is yours. But his and yours are ours.” ****************** Please don’t thank us for our service. Join us. Help us bear the weight in any way you can. That’s what good communities do.

If you've driven past Blue Cord’s Orlando HQ this past week, it will be hard to miss our brand-new flagpole proudly flying the American flag. Perched at the very top is a shiny gold ball. The known functional purpose of this ball is to keep the flag from sliding off the top of the flagpole and, in military flagpoles, the ball often contains a pulley system hidden within to allow for a quick hoist and lowering of the flag. However, the contents of the gold ball in our flagpole stems from a rich military history (or legend, as some say) in the “Tale of the Truck.” The gold ball on top of the flagpole, also known as the ‘truck,’ contains a razor blade, a match, and a bullet. Why these items? While the exact items vary depending on the story you hear, the telling of the tale is the same – should a military base find themselves being overrun by enemy forces, the contents within the truck (or ball) may be used to defend Old Glory. The razor is to be used to cut down the flag or to tear it into strips, the match is for a dignified destruction of the flag and the bullet is for the final attempt, if necessary, to defend the flag to the death by whatever means possible. In case you were wondering as to the usefulness of a bullet without a gun, legend says that a pistol is often buried at the base of the flagpole or some 50 paces away. Whatever version of the tale you have heard, we are proud of the message it conveys in the symbolic importance of the American flag and the unrelenting devotion of a soldier defending our country. #BlueCord #SDVOSB #MilitaryLegends #USA #FlagPole
