Happy 250th Birthday, America.

Today we honor the generations of men and women who have served, sacrificed, and given so much to preserve the blessings of liberty.

May we never take those sacrifices for granted. May we continue to pursue freedom with humility, justice with courage, and unity with purpose.

God bless America, and Happy Independence Day. 🇺🇸

We had a great time at the detachment's range night. If you haven't been able to come fellowship and show off your skills, keep an eye out for the next one.

Putting me on charge of photos isn't always a great idea. I end up forgetting and taking only a few. We'll have to appointment a new photographer.
