18 years ago today, my brother was killed in Iraq. He was my best friend Tough as hell, funny as hell The first to show up The last to back down He lived with purpose He died with honor He still shows up for me, in ways no one sees His absence is loud His legacy is louder
- How has Todd Beamer not posthumously not received the Presidential Medal of Freedom?
- 12 years ago my world changed forever when my brother and best friend gave his life in service to this country. Travis, today I remember your ultimate sacrifice and the lives you touched and continue to touch each and every day. #ifnotmethenwho #brotherlikenoother
- Travis Manion is remembered as a Marine and warrior, but first & foremost, he was my brother. It's hard to comprehend that my only sibling and best friend is no longer here, but I also realize how incredibly blessed I was to have him in my life for 26 years. #NationalSiblingsDay
- Today marks what would have been my brother Travis’s 40th birthday. He never had the chance to celebrate this milestone birthday, but I will raise a glass (or two) for him tonight to celebrate the life of a hero who I was privileged to call my brother and best friend.
- 13 years. Feels like yesterday. Incredible loss. Incredible pride. My brother. My protector. Missing you more than words can describe. 1st LT Travis Manion, USMC KIA, Iraq #ifnotmethenwho
- Literally the best text I have ever read. They are not on a plane yet, but inside the airport safe and waiting. When I am able to find the right words I will share the incredible story of how it all happened. For now, just keep praying they get on a flight soon. #Afghanallies
- A toast to my “brother like no other” on what would have been his 40th birthday. Miss you so much Trav. #ifnotmethenwho
- Early morning at @foxandfriends with @GriffJenkins @HuntsmanAbby and @PeteHegseth and of course my girl Honor! Big thanks to all of you for continuing to spread the work of @TMFoundation #ifnotmethenwho
- Found the silver lining in today’s world when I realized there was nothing holding us back from heading to Arlington to visit my brother. When life slows down you certainly have more time to focus on what is important. Grateful I had that opportunity today. ❤️
- At least four families across the United States will be receiving this Gold Star pin after they get a knock on the door informing them that their loved one gave their life in Afghanistan today. There are no words. #marine #service #sacrifice #afghanistan #ifnotmethenwho
