As the United States approaches the 250th anniversary of its independence, Americans are called not only to celebrate the founding of the nation, but to reflect on the institutions that have defended its ideals across generations.
Among those institutions, none has maintained a clearer sense of continuity, identity, and purpose than the United States Marine Corps. From its birth during the American Revolution to its modern role as a globally deployed expeditionary force, the Marine Corps has adapted to every era of warfare while remaining faithful to its original mission.

President Donald Trump awarded the Medal of Honor to two pilots on Tuesday: Army Chief Warrant Officer 5 Eric Slover, who was wounded while flying a helicopter during January’s mission that resulted in the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro; and retired Navy Capt. Royce Williams, who shot down four Soviet jet fighters during the Korean War.
Both Slover and Williams were presented with the U.S. military’s highest award for valor as Trump gave his State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday.

In 2026, could UPS run all their ground delivery operations using 1965 Dodge A100 vans?
Sure they could. They could hire a whole new cadre of specialized mechanics to maintain the old girls. They’d need some place in the desert to keep a bunch of non-roadworthy A100s for spare parts, since many of those parts have not been manufactured in decades. For those parts that cannot be found, they can pay someone exorbitant prices to build replacement parts no one else but UPS needs.

A South Korean Air Force F-16C fighter assigned based in Chungju crashed in a mountainous area during a night training flight on February 25, with the pilot ejecting successfully and confirmed safe. The Air Force set up a special task force led by the vice chief of staff to determine the cause of the crash. The F-16 fell on a hillside, igniting a fire, although local firefighters were quickly to respond, and began extinguishing efforts almost immediately.
