May we never forget that freedom isn't free. Today we give our deepest gratitude to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. As we honor those we have lost, we also recognize the important role our military plays as a conservation partner. Covering approximately 27 million acres of land, our nation’s military bases help support ecologically important habitats. One great example is Fort Riley, a five-square-mile Army base in the Flint Hills of Kansas. In addition to the Army’s First Infantry Division, Fort Riley hosts a population of greater prairie-chickens, which, like other grassland-obligate species, thrive in treeless grasslands. In this Ask an Expert, WLFW-supported researcher Caleb Roberts discusses how spatial targeting can be used to safeguard critical lek locations that become abandoned when pressured by woody expansion.

As we approach Memorial Day weekend, a time of reflection and gratitude for the sacrifices of our service members, I wanted to highlight an important lesson from USMC Major General Oliver Smith. In the heat of the Chosin Reservoir battle, General Smith famously declared, 'Retreat hell! We are attacking in another direction.' This perspective exemplifies not just military acumen but a powerful mindset and strategic resilience as well. When faced with unexpected challenges, having the courage and adaptability to pivot cannot be overstated. Embracing a nimble, growth mindset allows us to see beyond immediate setbacks. Like General Smith, we’re not backing down; we’re boldly charting a new path in a direction that was not part of the original plan. This approach keeps us agile, prepared, and always moving forward, turning potential defeats into strategic opportunities for advancement. This Memorial Day, please take some time to reflect on the lessons of being adaptable, resilient, and forward-thinking that we can learn from those who served and sacrificed. #memorialday #honorthefallen #nimble #growthmindset #veteran #reflection #resilience #grit

United States Marine Corps USMC Special Operations USMC Scout Sniper Association Marine Scout Sniper Heritage Foundation Recon & Sniper Foundation Rule 9- PAY YOURSELF FIRST: Invest and manage money smartly. Avoid borrowing money. If you do, pay it back as soon as possible. Enjoy your money, but always make sure you have more than you need in the bank. Shit happens and you will need a safety net. Also, if you lend out money, consider it gone. If you do business with a friend, you risk losing your friend, proceed with great caution. If you buy something, buy the very best quality you can afford. Take care of your gear, you may need to sell it one day. More importantly, your life may very well depend on that gear one day, make sure it’s ready. #recon #sniper #sarc #reconsniper #scoutsniper #specialamphibiousreconnaissancecorpsman #recondo #forcerecon #Kopfjager #fuckaverage #usmc #marines #headhunter #swift #silent #deadly

The more an individual has to lose, the less likely they are to destroy their life with bad decisions, like violence and theft. As the number of individuals that have less to lose increases, so does violence and destruction of that society. The more have loved ones, families, children, goals, inexpensive pastimes and things they enjoy, affordable clothing and food and other things that impact well being, the more they have to lose. It’s a sliding scale that can be tracked rather easily by anyone, in our times or past nations and civilizations. What’s required to keep the masses from acting out when they have less to lose, is an overbearing government, controlling you. The issue is that this control doesn’t last forever and eventually everything ends up in ruin, because 99% have nothing to lose. Nov. 5th. It’s up to you, if you have something to lose.🇺🇸 #thoughts #nyc #detroit #baltimore #losangeles #sanfrancisco #chicago #miami #dallas #houston #austin #desmoines #boston #unitedstates #usa #newengland #atlanta #neworleans #pheonix #veterans #veteran #army #navy #marines #coastguard #airforce #dod #spaceforce #teachers #students #mom #dad #mother #father #family

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was a long and bitter conflict fought between Great Britain and its thirteen North American colonies over the Americans' liberties and, eventually, for the independence of the United States. The war, which was fought with both conventional linear tactics and guerilla-style warfare, utilized several different kinds of weapons for multiple styles of combat. Delaware Regiment at the Battle of Long Island Domenick D'Andrea (Public Domain) Some of the weapons used in the Revolutionary War had long been staples of European-style warfare. Variations of the flintlock musket, for instance, had been used in battle since the early 1600s and would continue to be used on Western battlefields for decades after the American Revolution had ended. Other weapons, like the groove-barreled Long Rifle, were relatively new additions to warfare; the rifle, used in a limited capacity during the Revolution, would see greater use on the later battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars (1803-1815) and American Civil War (1861-1865). Some weapons were useful in close-quarter combat such as the bayonet, tomahawk, and saber, while artillery guns were devastating at both long and short distances. None of the weapons discussed in this article were unique to the American Revolution. However, a quick description of the types of weapons used in that conflict could help give the reader a better understanding of what it may have been like to be on a battlefield during the US War of Independence. #AmericanRevolution #FergusonRifle #FlintlockMusket #History #WHE
