A day late to the #NationalPizzaDay party
This morning I edited a poignant piece by @Kristine_Froeba on Lawrence Brooks, who died today as the America's eldest WW2 vet. He was 112. His daughter plans to bury him in a new, replacement Army uniform he recently received. Take time to read this one: armytim.es/MRas8SK
Marines flew near the Arctic Circle on a KC-130, then rode commercial flights and snowmobiles to get toys to 2,500 children in 11 villages. Cpl. Brendan Mullin "could hear children gasp when a Marine Santa entered a prekindergarten classroom." #MerryChristmas2021

A beautiful #VeteransDay piece by @Kristine_Froeba: "Only weeks ago Brooks danced on his porch serenaded by the museum’s singing trio while a military flyover banked down his street. But he’s faltering now, and his daughter says he can no longer walk." militarytimes.com/military-honor…
"I can never look at [the Marine Corps] the same.” The parents of Lt. Col. Stu Scheller in an exclusive interview with @SgtJRWebb. marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari…
Marines and vets — it’s your time to sound off on the Corps’ new tattoo policy. Leave a voicemail at (540) 753-0567 if you're willing to let us use your message on a @WeeklyDefense segment. Also: Send me a DM if you're a Marine about to get a new tat. Want to follow along!
Marine veteran Kate Hendricks Thomas' nurse practitioner had recommended she get a mammogram, “based on where you’ve been stationed.” She not only had one type of cancer — she had three. An eye-opening piece from @KellySKennedy and @TheWarHorseNews: miltim.es/VIImbw2
Here’s our wrap up story. Based on our research, Scheller is only the second officer ever convicted of Article 88. marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari…
In the aggravating circumstances, Hines noted that Article 88 – contempt towards officials – is an extremely serious charge. (Any of you law types know exactly how rare? Hit my DMs) That crime is “serious” and “corrosive,” he said, bc it “degrades public trust.”
Col. Glen Hines, the judge, blasted the USMC in noting the mitigating circumstances. - “specter of unlawful command influence” - re: leaks — “That’s very disturbing — it’s unfair, illegal” - noted Scheller’s “outstanding record” - said pre-trial confinement “a very rare thing”
The sentence is much lighter than the Corps wanted, even when you consider how much the Corps took off the table in the plea agreement. Gov’t had asked to take $5k/month for 6 months. Only got 1.
Good morning, everyone! Today is Day 2 of Marine Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller’s court-martial. Yesterday, he was convicted on all counts related to his social media posts criticizing the Afghanistan withdrawal. Catch up on day 1 ⬇️ marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-mari…
