Agent orange

This year marks 65 years since Agent Orange was first sprayed in Vietnam, leaving a lasting impact on countless veterans, their families, and generations to come.

Today, we honor the brave Vietnam veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange and who have suffered from illnesses and lasting health effects as a result. We also remember those who lost their lives, and the families who continue to carry the weight of their sacrifice.

Their service came at a tremendous cost—one that many have endured long after returning home.

On Agent Orange Awareness Day, let us remember these heroes, recognize their sacrifices, and honor the families who stood beside them through the years.

🇺🇸 We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Please join us in remembering the Vietnam veterans affected by Agent Orange and the families who have shared in their sacrifice.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. 🙏🇺🇸

Margaret “Maggie” Reilly

“Today, we remember Captain Margaret “Maggie” Reilly, a dedicated U.S. Army nurse whose service represented the courage and compassion of the medical personnel who cared for America’s wounded during the Vietnam War.

Originally from Boston, Reilly joined the Army in 1967 after completing her nursing degree. She soon found herself thousands of miles from home, serving at the 12th Evacuation Hospital in Cu Chi, South Vietnam.

Working in the operating rooms and hospital wards, Captain Reilly helped care for wounded soldiers arriving from combat operations. The injuries could be severe, the hours exhausting, and the conditions far removed from the hospitals nurses had known back home.

Yet Reilly continued doing what Army nurses were trained to do: treat the wounded, assist medical teams, and provide comfort to soldiers during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

For many young service members, nurses like Reilly became more than medical professionals. They were familiar voices and reassuring faces in an unfamiliar place, offering compassion to soldiers who were injured, frightened, and thousands of miles away from their families.

Her work required resilience as well as medical skill. Day after day, she and her fellow nurses faced the physical and emotional demands of caring for casualties while continuing their mission regardless of the circumstances around them.

Captain Margaret “Maggie” Reilly’s service reflects the contribution of the military nurses who worked behind the front lines and dedicated themselves to bringing wounded Americans home.

Today, we honor Maggie and all the nurses who served during the Vietnam War.

Their compassion, courage, and selfless service remain an important part of America’s military history.

Thank you, Captain Reilly, and thank you to every Vietnam nurse who stood beside America’s wounded when they needed you most.

What’s something you used to worry about but don’t anymore?

I used to worry about death and being alone .. but now ….. I see the people around me and love the life I have

Die Guten alte zeitten

Es gab eine Zeit, da war eine Telefonzelle noch ein kleiner besonderer Ort ☎️✨
Ein Mädchen darin, den Hörer in der Hand, draußen die alten Autos und diese ruhige Stimmung, die man heute fast gar nicht mehr kennt Keine Smartphones, keine schnellen Nachrichten, keine ständigen Benachrichtigungen
Nur ein Telefonat, ein paar Münzen in der Tasche und dieses kleine Kribbeln, wenn man gewartet hat, ob jemand abnimmt Solche Bilder erinnern daran, wie anders die Welt früher war
Langsamer, einfacher und vielleicht in manchen Momenten auch ein bisschen echter Heute kann man jeden in Sekunden erreichen, aber genau deshalb fühlt sich vieles nicht mehr so besonders an
Ein Bild voller Nostalgie, Erinnerungen und dieser stillen Magie aus einer anderen Zeit ✨

Evesham police

You may have noticed some of our officers out of their patrol vehicles and throughout our neighborhoods this weekend. As part of our community policing efforts, officers patrolled on bicycles and in the department’s Kubota, providing a visible presence, enhancing public safety, and connecting with residents in a more personal way.

And in what may have been the biggest surprise of the weekend, Detective DeFranceso even stepped away from his desk to enjoy some fresh air!
