Most people think those coins on military graves are random. ⁰They're not. A penny means someone visited. A nickel means they trained together. A dime means they served together. A quarter means you were there when they gave everything. It's one of the military's quietest traditions, where a few cents can say more than a thousand words.

Ever wonder why Air Force One often has F-16s flying alongside it? The fighters aren't there for show. They're part of a layered security plan that provides rapid response to unidentified aircraft, extra eyes in the sky, and an immediate defensive capability if the situation changes. Most presidential flights don't require fighter escorts from takeoff to landing, but they can be launched quickly whenever the threat level, airspace, or mission calls for it. When you see the escort, you're watching one of the most visible parts of an otherwise largely invisible security operation.

I had never read Red Skelton's thoughts on the Pledge of Allegiance until today. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this Fourth of July, this feels like something worth reading. If you have children or grandchildren, I'm going to pass it on to mine, and I hope you'll consider passing it on to yours. The ending is worth every word.

The military didn't officially name it the "Warthog." The people who flew it did. The A-10's bulky nose, hunched profile, and all-business design reminded crews of a warthog, and the nickname spread until it became part of aviation history. Sometimes the names that stick are the ones earned in the field.
