Stolen valor isn't just a lie—it's a betrayal that cuts deeper than any other form of impersonation. As a Georgia farm boy who enlisted in the USAF at 17, serving in secure comms and recon, I earned every scar, every sleepless night, and every ounce of pride that comes with being a warrior. But when someone fakes that service, parades around in unearned medals or uniforms, they're stealing the honor forged in blood, sweat, and sacrifice by real veterans. It's not harmless role-playing; it's exploiting the trust society places in those who've faced the fire for their country. Worse, it diminishes the struggles of those like me, battling PTSD every day, and mocks the memory of the fallen. In a world full of frauds and fakes, stolen valor hits the lowest rung because it preys on the sacred—our service, our brotherhood, our very identity. That's why I'm here fighting for veteran verification on platforms like X: to protect the real heroes and expose the cowards. If you've served, stand with me. If you haven't, respect what you don't understand. #EndStolenValor #VeteranStrong #turn22to0 #PTSDAwareness

Look what I found in a can of your fruit cocktail @DelMonte

Son & wife upset granddaughter's first word wasn't Dada or Mama. It was Hooah. Wonder who could have taught her that 😂

Hey @CocaColaCo, You package, Vanilla Coke, Cherry Coke, Orange Coke, Cherry Float Coke, etc. Why won't you package my favorite flavor, which is Lime Coke?

Granddaughters' breakfast

I decided to try your Dawn Platinum since it was on sale at the store I shop at. The scent/odor is overwhelming and gave me a headache. I am switching back to regular Dawn and dumping this bottle of platinum, and advise others to be cautious if they try your platinum dish soap @DawnDish

Breakfast gift older 2 granddaughters Ham & cheese omelet, raisin toast, yogurt, OJ and their multi vitamin
