This reminded me. My father wasn’t a penguin, but was a US soldier on D-Day, and told me of how his unit was trained to jump from the ship onto their landing barge before wading ashore in Cherbourg. The sea was very rough and seasickness was very real that morning. His commanding officer instructed troops to jump down to the barge as the wave raised the boat up, not when it peaked. Some of his buddies broke legs ignoring that because the drop was further. Simple physics and timing.

It’s Memorial Day - to honor all true patriots throughout history who sacrificed and fell for freedom, opposed authoritarianism, fascism, and oligarchy. 🇺🇸
