Before he was President, he was a Citizen-Soldier. 🇺🇸

Harry S. Truman answered the call to serve — first as a captain in World War I, then as a U.S. Army Reserve colonel, and finally, as the 33rd President of the United States. In 1948, he signed Executive Order 9981, desegregating the armed forces — a defining moment in our history.

🎉 Join us in celebrating the strength, service, and legacy of the U.S. Army Reserve this month as part of our 118th Birthday!

Remembering Graham Greene with some good laughs 😊

A Bellanca 7ECA pilot in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, learned firsthand the hazards of helicopter wake turbulence. Just 40 feet into his climb, his airplane rolled 135° after crossing a CH-47 Chinook’s rotor wash. He recovered enough to touch down in brush with substantial damage — but walked away unhurt, thankfully.

☃️ Prepare your Vehicle for Winter 🌨️
Before winter, it is essential to prepare your vehicle by checking several key components:

❄️ Lights and wipers.
Ensure all headlights, brake lights, turn signals, emergency flashers, and interior lights function. Fill your windshield wiper reservoir with winter-grade fluid, check the blades for serviceability, and replace worn blades.

❄️ Cooling system.
Verify that your vehicle has enough coolant to meet manufacturer specifications. Check for leaks, test the coolant, and replace old fluid as needed. Inspect hoses and belts for serviceability to avoid costly breakdowns this winter.

❄️ Anti-lock or not.
On slippery roads, for cars equipped with anti-lock brakes, keep pressure on the pedal until stopped (don’t be startled by the feedback in the pedal). For vehicles without anti-lock brakes, pump the brake pedal to avoid locking the wheels and causing your vehicle to slide.

❄️ Tires.
Consumerreports.org recommends a minimum tread depth of 4/32 of an inch in the middle of winter. Consider replacing your tires if you can see the top of George Washington’s head when you place a quarter in the tread groove.
