“I’d like to say to Mr. and Mrs. Khan: Thank you for immigrating to America. We’re a better country because of you. And you are certainly right; your son was the best of America, and the memory of his sacrifice will make us a better nation—and he will never be forgotten.” —Senator John McCain #whatitmeanstobeamerican #GoldStarFamily #IndependenceDay #FourthOfJuly #AnAmericanFamily #KhizrKhan #nonfiction #memoir #autobiography #bookstagram
Happy Birthday to Chesty Puller, the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. Favorite Chesty quote: “Son, when the Marine Corps wants you to have a wife, you will be issued one.” This biography of LtGen. Lewis B. Puller was written by Col. Jon T. Hoffman, USMCR. #Oorah #USMC #Marines #ChestyPuller #USMarines #Marinespouse #milspouse #vetspouse #militarybiography #militarybooks #nonfiction #biography #bookstagram #lovetoread

In addition to being known as the Sunflower State, Kansas has also been known as the home of Fred Phelps and his hateful Westboro Baptist Church. A lot of people don’t realize (yet) that Kansas is also the home of brave everyday activists standing up against conservative attempts to legalize discrimination. Journalist C.J. Janovy documents what it’s been like for LGBTQ activists in Kansas who have fought—and won—the acceptance and respect of their neighbors, communities, and local government. If you want to change the world, start where you stand. 🌻 #Pride2019 #LGBTQpride #LoveIsLove #NoPlaceLikeHome #CJJanovy #LGBTQactivism #SunflowerState #lovetoread #bookstagram
Weddings are a slice of life. Family, friends, food, music, dancing, toasts, tears and laughter. We live for these moments. Congratulations to my nephew Luke Simmons and his lovely bride Lyndsi. #soontobesimmons
