Day 1 of the 9th annual Emsi conference had its shining moment right at the very end. Love this earth and its water. #emsi2019 #emsiconference #coeurdaleneresort #cdaresort

Last Monday: The gulf does look magnificent after a storm. #destinflorida #destinharborwalk #gulfcoast #emeraldcoast @emerald_grande

Can’t wait to see this view again! Last summer pulled out all the stops on this firestorm. Heading back to our old stomping grounds at @emerald_grande for Fourth of July. #floridasky #emeraldgrande #emeraldgrandedestin

I think I’ll keep you, Geneva Joy #niecelove @jenniferelisabethb

70 years later on a springish winter day, I came to Bloody Omaha. More men died here than on any other beach on June 6, 1944. The first thing I did after running down the mossy stone ramp was place my hand on the sand: the flattest, hardest-packed sand I’ve ever felt. Perfect for boats and running boots. From this beach, the world felt calm and beautiful. The high tide rolled far up the sand and left long, shining mirrors of puffy clouds in deep blue sky. I stood in the waves with my back to the ocean, to distant England, and looked up at the cliffs that our soldiers fought so hard to take. For many, those cliffs were the last things they saw. Houses grow there now. I tried to imagine the hell. The silence and serenity were too much. I could hear the screams of men and bombs in my head, but outside, just the quiet of a hallowed shore at peace. To Americans contemplating a journey to this sandy altar, I would say: Go. #DDay #dayofdays #omahabeach #bloodyomaha #normandy #june61944 #longestday

Quote of the day

“Survival…is not worth having unless it can be had by honorable and merciful means…. Nothing is more likely to destroy a species or a nation than a determination to survive at all costs.”

– C. S. Lewis, “On Living in an Atomic Age”
