I loved it πŸ₯° It was hard watching the Kiel, Germany target run. knowing my cousin was in Jimmy’s formation. It did a great service to all those who have family who served in WWII. I was pleasantly surprised how much focused on the war. KJ Apa knocked it out of the park. His accent was *perfect.* Probably making my top 10 movies list ❀️ @jimmymovie2026 #WWII #JimmyMovie #445thBG

I haven’t been to a movie theater in two decades… they actually make me very uncomfortable with only a few ways out and I am also extremely sensitive to movement and loud noise. But naturally I had to be at the opening of @jimmymovie2026 ❀️ #JimmyStewart #JimmyMovie #WWII

A great piece on the trailblazer Gracie Fields, entertainer to the British Expeditionary Force. This article looks at how a British working-class icon single-handedly forced the War Office to open the front lines to female performers. #womenshistory #WW2

Just finished the new @WeHaveWaysPod 4 episode series on the Kokoda campaign of 1942. A very solid foundation provided by @almurray & @James1940 for a very complex slice of history. Wasn't expecting the degree of detail & analysis provided. If you're new to this topic start here

literally heard this all day today… i’m tired.
Things i’m sick of hearing: Autism edition - everyones a little autistic - everyone is on the autism spectrum - anyone can be autistic now - autism is being overdiagnosed I’m begging people to do some actual research, read the criteria and learn that none of this is true.οΏΌ

U.S. Army First Lieutenant Turney White Leonard of Dallas, Texas, was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions on November 4-6, 1944, near Kommerscheidt, Germany. Turney was commissioned in the Army in 1942 via the ROTC program at Texas A&M University and was a platoon leader in Company C, 893rd Tank Destroyer Battalion. Between November 4 -6, 1944, Leonard’s company was heavily engaged in the fighting in and around Kommerscheidt, Germany. During this time, he repeatedly exposed himself to hostile fire and assumed command when officers became incapacitated. When a mortar round blew his arm off, he was forced to report to the aid station, but he ordered the medic to place him in a concealed foxhole with a weapon to fend off the Germans who were about to overrun the position. His remains were found after the War in a field grave dug by the Germans. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on November 4-6, 1944. Leonard is buried in Grove Hill Memorial Park in Dallas, Texas. #WeRememberThem
