And Day 2 is done! I’ll be visiting more graves and tweeting your requests tomorrow (please send them my way!), but I wanted tell you a little more about two Medal of Honor recipients I had the privilege of visiting today..
Sgt Clyde Thomason was from Atlanta, GA, and was a Marine Raider and the first enlisted Marine to receive the Medal of Honor during World War II...
At 6’4”, this handsome Devil dog needed a height waiver to be a Raider. He received his posthumous MOH for his bravery in the assault on the Makin Islands, including an occasion where he walked into the line of fire to kick in a door and take out a Japanese sniper..

Day 1 of #TheHonorProject was cold, rainy, and incredible. I’m so grateful to the volunteers who came out today...please follow the hashtag as we share the names of the fallen this weekend 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’ll be visiting and sharing the photos of the graves y’all send requests for here on Monday, but in the meantime I’d like to share a little more background on an Airman whose grave has become one I visit every time I’m in Arlington Cemetery..
This is Air Force Capt. Ryan Phaneuf’s grave and it’s the first place I visited for #TheHonorProject. Last year, his wife @MeganMuratTV asked me to visit his grave, not knowing whether or not he would even have a headstone yet... Image

Ok, so between all the pieces on our failed education system (depressing), an unfinished debate with a friend (annoying), and bc I told @MZHemingway I would, here’s the tweet thread with my recent thoughts on passing on what we believe to our kids...
..we often hear a viewpoint that Jefferson held on government. That each generation should reshape/reinterpret laws to fit a new lens, and that what we fight for today could just as likely be forgotten tomorrow as our kids make their own choices about what matters most to them..
...and more importantly, that there’s nothing to be sad about if the next generation chooses a different path. After all, who are we to tell the future citizens what country they should want?

Does anyone have buddies buried in Arlington who they would like visited today? Since only family members are allowed in, I would be honored to pay respects on your behalf...

@MeganMuratTV I am so sorry for your loss, but feel so privileged to have visited your husband. He and you deserve the highest honor and I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏻 ♥️🇺🇸
