It was an honor to join the first class of 24 first responders at the USBTA HMT course this week, in the program's inaugural year. Congressman Hoyer fought to make this possible, and I'll keep fighting to make sure USBTA can continue offering this course free of charge to our public safety officers.

12 500-pound bombs.
50 ft of treacherous water. 1 desperate mission.

The truth—unvarnished + long-buried—finally surfacing. 🪖💣🌊 #WWIIFoundation #USBTA #SevernRiverBooks

Film intern, Clara Desrues Ardois, great granddaughter to dear Michelle Desrues, interviewed today about her + my father’s WWII friendship. 80+ years, yet a close knit “family”.
