Miles Heizer reflected on Netflix's cancelation of the LGBTQ+ coming-of-age Marine series in a heartfelt social media post.

"Well, I’m sad to report that Boots isn’t being renewed for a second season," the '13 Reasons Why' alum began. "I want to thank everyone for the overwhelming love and support they gave this show. It truly shattered my expectations, and I couldn’t be more grateful."

Miles continued by acknowledging, "Yes, I’m pretty disappointed we won’t be returning. But the friends I made and being called woke garbage by the Pentagon are things I will cherish for the rest of my life. Thank you so much to everyone who fought to get this show made." (📸: Netflix)

So, recently, a very angry Pete Hegseth called Admiral Holsey into his office. He was commander of United States Southern Command. Hegseth confronted and berrated the Admiral regarding his refusal to bomb small boats supposedly smuggling drugs. The Admiral explained that he was concerned that innocent civilians might be in harms way. A heated argument ensued where Hegseth warned Holsey to "move fast and don't ask questions," prompting Holsey's resistance as he sought legal clarity. Hegseth threatened him, telling him to “comply or face consequences”, threatening to strip him of command
After 15 minutes, Admiral Holsey, who served in the military since 1988, resigned.
Now, the Admiral has decided to willingly testify publicly about what happened in the water and what took place in Hegseth’s office. He wants the country to know the truth about these bombings.
This could get ugly for Petey.🥴

While visiting some cemeteries you may notice that headstones marking certain graves have coins on them, left by previous visitors to the grave.

These coins have distinct meanings when left on the headstones of those who gave their life while serving in America's military, and these meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin.

A coin left on a headstone or at the grave site is meant as a message to the deceased soldier's family that someone else has visited the grave to pay respect.

Leaving a penny at the grave means simply that you visited. A nickel indicates that you and the deceased trained at boot camp together, while a dime means you served with him in some capacity. By leaving a quarter at the grave, you are telling the family that you were with the soldier when he was killed.

Today, we remember LT Victor Patrick Buckley of Falls Church, Virginia, who went MIA on this day in 1969. Pat is remembered by his fiancé, Darlene:

"It is difficult to imagine that it has been 56 years since you were reported missing when you failed to return to your aircraft carrier after completing an early morning reconnaissance mission. I truly believed that after all these years, with all the advances that have been made and all the deep water recoveries that have occurred, those still missing in Vietnam would have been recovered by now. But for years, the number of those still missing has tragically and stubbornly remained the same at 1,582. Although I have always had hope that there would have been some information of what happened to you on that morning of December 16, 1969, I no longer have faith that that is going to happen. I think of you when I hear a certain song you liked, or when someone sounds just like you, when they laugh. I remember you telling me before you asked me to marry you, that you were in a dangerous job as a reconn pilot in Vietnam. Your biggest fear was that if something happened, it would be bad for you but very bad for me. And it has, Pat, it has."

In a controversial move, the Trump administration removed panels honoring Black WWII veterans at the Netherlands American Cemetery, sparking widespread outrage. These panels, which celebrated the contributions of African-American soldiers during World War II, were part of a rotating exhibit, but their removal has been seen by many as an erasure of Black history. Local Dutch officials have condemned the act, calling it “indecent and unacceptable.” The move is particularly troubling given the historical context of these veterans, who fought not only against fascism but also against the segregation they faced at home. This incident has raised questions about the ongoing struggle for recognition and representation in the narrative of America’s military history.
