DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse - Video: .@SECWAR “By their decisions and actions in that faraway land during our battle against communism, James Capers, Jr., and John Ripley proved that the breed of patriot who stood at Lexington and Concord and on the banks of the Delaware River did not die out.
And those kinds of patriots still guard for us today.
To the two Marines we salute today—you carried our flag with honor and you will wear that medal with PRIDE.
You embodied the Marine ethos, Semper Fidelis. MAY GOD BLESS OUR GREAT NATION."

DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse - Video: .@SECWAR “When the hour of darkness came upon these two Marines, and the wicked were all around them, they did not turn back.
They did not look for an easy way out—THEY PRAYED.
They saw their duty. They went forward—and found their way out.”

DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse - Video: .@SECWAR "In those terrible, magnificent moments that we recall here today, the fellow warriors of then-Lieutenant Capers and then-Captain Ripley bore witness to a truth that no totalitarian ideology can ever suppress:
THE FREE MAN IS MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD... AND HIS HIGHEST DESTINY IS LOVE, EXPRESSED THROUGH SACRIFICE FOR HIS FELLOW MAN."

DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse - Video: .@SECWAR just told the story of Medal of Honor recipient John Ripley:
"The date was Easter Sunday, 1972. His superiors ordered him to the pivotal Dong Ha Bridge with a simple command: STAND AND DIE.
As Captain Ripley later recalled, 'The only way to stop the enemy was to destroy the bridge.'
The mission was overwhelming and at first, Captain Ripley had no idea how he was gonna carry 500 pounds of explosives over there, but he still called his superior and said, 'I will destroy that bridge.'"

DOW Rapid Response @DOWResponse - Video: .@SECWAR just told the story of Medal of Honor recipient Major James Capers Jr.
“When President Johnson ordered Jim Capers to rescue our POWs, Capers saluted and deployed. He first arrived at one of those awful camps thinking our men would be there, but the enemy had moved them.
Capers looked at that place where the communists held and tortured our men, and he said, ‘NEVER AGAIN.’
He declared, ‘This camp will not hold another American Marine or soldier!’
And, so, Jim Capers and his men burned that camp to the ground...”

Elon Musk @elonmusk - Absolutely. This is a total lie.
All DOGE did was require contact with the aid recipients to confirm that funds were being used legitimately. Anything less than this is insane!
Multiple people from USAID have been charged by the Justice Department with stealing money.
Moreover, they pled GUILTY!!

USAID funded the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine in 2014 that directly led to the 2014-2022 Donbas War (15,000 killed) and the subsequent 2022 Russia-Ukraine War (300,000 killed). So did USAID supporters murder 315,000 people?
