Great Escape 80-th anniversary. On the night on 24 March 1944, 76 Allied prisoners of war evade their German captors, escaping via a tunnel codenamed Harry, under the wire of a prisoner of war camp Stalag Luft III in Żagań (former Sagan). Tunnel Harry and digging effort in some numbers: ▶ length - 111 m ▶ depth - 9 m ▶ width - 0,6 m ▶ boards for shoring - aprox. 3000 to 4000 (from beds, chairs, tables, benches) ▶ electric lighting - yes (!!!) ▶ ventilation system - yes - a pump and aprox. 1000 tins. ▶ tons of soil removed - aprox. 130 ▶ spoons for digging - aprox. 500 ▶ shovels - aprox. 30 ▶ matresses, pilow cases, bed covers - to muffle sounds ❗ Done in secret amid a security operation policed by the POWs. https://lnkd.in/dU5wy-Dp

United we stand, divided we fall. Every time we think Blue States versus Red States, the terrorists who did this win. They tried to kill all of us. To make us afraid. We have nothing to fear but fear itself, is as true today as it was in WWII. No one can beat us but ourselves. Honor the memories of the fallen by becoming an informed citizen. Watch and listen to all sides. Think critically for yourself and decide based on what you determine to be true. You have to work at it. Freedom is not free. One hint, follow the money to figure out the real motivations. You might be surprised what you figure out. Being a good citizen takes more than one day a year. #democracymatters

Wishing everyone a safe and joyful Independence Day! On this Fourth of July, let's embrace the opportunity to come together as a community and celebrate the principles that make America the land of the free and the home of the brave. As we celebrate Independence Day, it's important to prioritize safety amidst the festivities: 1) Ensure fireworks are handled by responsible adults, keeping them away from children and flammable materials. 2) Opt for attending professional firework displays instead of using personal fireworks, minimizing risks of accidents and injuries. 3) If grilling, maintain a safe distance from flammable items and always supervise the grill. 4) Stay hydrated and apply sunscreen throughout the day to protect against sunburn. 5) If traveling, designate a sober driver or use rideshare services to ensure everyone gets home safely. By following these precautions, we can all enjoy a safe and memorable Fourth of July celebration. #happyfourthofjuly
