Here are some ground rules for this weekend:
1. Don't wish me a Happy Memorial Day. There is nothing happy about brave men and women dying.

2. It's not a holiday. It's a remembrance.

3. If you want to know the true meaning, visit Arlington or your local VA, not Disneyland.

4. Don't tell me how great any one political power is. Tell me about Chesty Puller, George Patton, John Basilone, Mitchell Paige, Ira Hayes, Chris Kyle and any other heroes too numerous to name. Attend a Bell Ceremony and shed some tears.

5. Don't tell me I don't know what I am talking about. I have carried the burden all too many times for my warriors who now stand their post for God.

6. Say a prayer... and then another.

7. Remember the Fallen for all the good they did while they were here.

8. Reach out and let a Vet know you're there, we're losing too many in "peace".

🚨BREAKING: A hero former Marine helped a Massachusetts State Police trooper take DOWN a gunman who was opening fire all over Memorial Drive in Cambridge, MA, today! The man reportedly fired 50-60 rounds at people driving down the street. Two people were hit and are in critical condition.

Boston 10 News is reporting, "As state police were arriving, a trooper in his cruiser and a civilian, a former Marine licensed to carry a gun, arrived at the scene to find people jumping from cars, scattering in different directions as gunshots rang out.

The trooper and the civilian ran toward the suspect with their weapons to try and end the situation. Both fired their weapons and struck Brown multiple times in his extremities." The man has been hospitalized, according to the report.

The New York Post further reported that the man, "has a lengthy criminal history and was scheduled to see his parole officer on Monday after the officer allegedly became concerned about his well-being."

The report continued, "Court records obtained by Boston 25 News showed that Brown had a criminal record spanning two decades, including an alarming incident in 2020 where he fired 13 rounds at Boston police officers in the South End."

Wow! Thank you, law enforcement, and the heroic Marine for stopping this criminal! If it weren't for them it could have been much worse! It's time to get tough on these criminals and put them in for life if they shoot at cops! We need law and order! 💥💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
