A dying military hero’s final wish was to earn a high school diploma, so his friends worked for months to make his dream come true. A school official was able to make it happen just three days before his death. Richard “Gunny” Remp dropped out of high school just shy of graduation so he could fight in World War II. He then went on to fight in Korea and then Vietnam, never returning to complete his senior year, but always wishing he had. At 98, Richard was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and he admitted to his friends that his dying wish was to hold his diploma in his hands. They contacted the school board from his hometown of Sharon, PA, hoping he could earn an honorary diploma. The board agreed to help. Before officials could get Richard his diploma, his health took a turn for the worse. He moved to hospice care and was no longer strong enough to travel home. When his friends left a message for Sharon City School District Superintendent Justi Glaros telling her it was too late, she called them back with good news. “She’s like, ‘I’m printing his diploma now. ‘I’ll be there in 4½ hours,’” Julien Singh, commander of the American Legion post in Poolesville, told The Washington Post. “To me, four and a half hours wasn’t far at all to be able to honor Mr. Remp,” Justi said, per WKBN 27.  “It was sort of like out of a Hallmark movie. These things, you don’t see these things happen every day, and it was incredible to see it unfold in front of your eyes,” Julien added. School Board Official Made it Just In Time To Grant Hero’s Last Wish Justi arrived in time to present the military hero with his final wish. With friends and family gathered around, he held his high school diploma just as he always hoped. “When I got there, it was all rather surreal,” Justi continued. “I was nervous because I felt like I was meeting a rock star… Here’s this man who’s a highly decorated veteran who really had from the age of 17, given his entire life to serve our country and to protect our freedoms.”  Richard Remp passed away three days later. Sharon High School will honor the vet with a moment of silence during its graduation ceremony next month. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Is Justin Trudeau's Regime Coming to an End?

This is the Terrible Review of 'Reacher' We've All Been Waiting For

On Tuesday morning, outside the New York City courthouse, where Trump’s trial was taking place, actor Robert De Niro spoke with the Biden Campaign regarding the defendant. De Niro recently participated in an already controversial ad for the Biden campaign (now unlisted on YouTube), pinning extreme accusations on the Republican, yet this speech truly highlighted the doomsday fear-mongering which was classic amongst Trump critics.  Trump and several of his supporters have often spoken before and after the court sessions, allowing a lot of media coverage and now the Biden Campaign decided to take advantage of this media opportunity as well. De Niro has emerged as the typical politically charged celebrity and he, again, stuck to the doomsday theme, condemning Americans for electing Trump in 2016, “We’d forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren’t taken seriously until they became vicious dictators.”     Continuing his monologue, De Niro assisted the Biden campaign by politicizing Memorial Day and proclaiming the end of democracy and the country as we know it will end with the election of Trump: Yesterday was Memorial Day. It's a good time to reflect on how Americans fought and died so that we may enjoy the freedoms guaranteed to us by a democratic a government, a government that, as President Lincoln said, ‘of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.’ Under Trump, this kind of will perish from the Earth. I don't mean to scare you. No, no, wait, maybe I don't mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted and elections, forget about it. He followed up by claiming all Americans have a duty to vote for Biden: I hope this new ad campaign reaches outside the bubble to remind supporters of what a danger he is to our lives. This is not a threat, this is a reality, and that’s why I’ve joined the Biden-Harris Campaign, because the only way to preserve our freedoms and hold onto our humanity, is to vote for Joe Biden for president. Really, we don’t have a choice! Not all were pleased with De Niro’s tactics, as spectators interjected, and car horns began to interrupt the actor until he had finished speaking. The transcript is below. Click "expand" to read: ABC News Live  5/28/2024 10:40:08 AM ET. (...) ROBERT DE NIRO: When Trump ran in 2016, it was like a joke. This buffoon running for president “nah, never could happen.” We'd forgotten the lessons of history that showed us other clowns who weren't taken seriously until they became vicious dictators. With Trump, we have a second chance and no one is laughing now. This is the time to stop him by voting him out once and for all.  We don't want to wake up after the election saying “What, again? My god, what the hell have we done?”  We can't have that happen again. Yesterday was Memorial Day. It's a good time to reflect on how Americans fought and died so that we may enjoy the freedoms guaranteed to us by a democratic government, a government that, as President Lincoln said, “of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.”  Under Trump, this kind of government will perish from the Earth. I don't mean to scare you. No, no, wait, maybe I do mean to scare you. If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections, forget about it. That's over, that's done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave. He will never leave. You know that. He will never leave. What does that mean? Is that the country we want to live in? Do we want him running this country and saying “I’m not leaving? I'm dictator for life.” I hope this new ad campaign reaches outside the bubble to remind supporters of what a danger he is to our lives. This is not a threat, this is a reality, and that’s why I’ve joined the Biden-Harris Campaign, because the only way to preserve our freedoms and hold onto our humanity, is to vote for Joe Biden for president. Really, we don’t have a choice! On January 6th while Republican lawmakers despicably tried to keep the Loser Trump, the Loser Trump in the White House and Trump inspired insurrectionists stormed the Capitol brave men and women from law enforcement put their lives on the line to defend this country, our democracy. They are the true heroes. These guys are the true heroes. They stood and put their lives on the line for these low lives. But Trump MAN: They lied under oath.  DE NIRO: They lied under oath.  MAN: Right. DE NIRO: Who lied under oath? Why are you telling me? MAN: Those two traitors behind you. DE NIRO: Excuse me? MAN: Those two traitors behind you. DE NIRO: They lied under oath.? MAN: That's right. DE NIRO: What do you say?  MAN: They’re traitors. DE NIRO: They're traitors? You got a – I don’t even know how to deal with you, my friend. I don't even know how to deal with you. They stood there, they didn't have to. And there were other ones in there who probably were in with them a little bit, too. And they found a way to get around. Not these guys. They stood there and fought, for us, for you, for you. MAN: But they weren’t fighting for me. DE NIRO: No, yeah, no. They fought for you, buddy. You're able to stand right here now. They are the true heroes. I am honored to be with these two heroes today from former Capital Police Officer Harry Dunn and former Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone.      

A tire company in California was ordered to stop playing loud music near a homeless encampment after a homeless man filed a lawsuit against the company. "The first night, I got to bed at 1 a.m.. The second night, I got no sleep during the night. And the third night, Sunday night, I had no way to get any sleep," said Bruce Gaylord to KGO-TV. 'I'm just a person who has schizoaffective disorder and mental illness.'Gaylord said that he has lived in the encampment in the city of San Rafael, California, since last year after he stopped to get medications in Barstow to treat his mental illness and his truck was stolen. The encampment is located next to the East Bay Tire Company on Lincoln Ave. Gaylord said that they recently began to blare out classical music in an effort to drive away the homeless people living there. “It was painful,” he said of the music. “That’s how loud it was. Rock concert loud."He said that he tried to call police but that they didn't help him. So, he called homeless advocate Robbie Powelson, who went down to document the music near the encampment. “We took a decibel reading of the sound. We measured that the decibels were between 50-118 decibels. In general, it was far above the San Rafael noise ordinance, so it was illegal,” Powelson told KRON-TV. "Robby was a Godsend," said Gaylord. Powelson filed a lawsuit against the company, and a judge ordered them to temporarily stop the music. 'Everything from illegal drug use to prostitution.' East Bay Tire assistant manager Robbie Derho told KGO that they had set up the music and security announcements in order to protect their employees and to deter behavior spilling over from the encampment. "Every morning we're out here picking up garbage and glass and different things, so it's been hard," Derho said. "We have guys that get here at 5:30 in the morning," he continued. "They're all by themselves. We do 24 hour roadside service. The technicians show up in the middle of the night, 3 in the morning, they're alone." Derho added that employees from the company had witnessed everything from illegal drug use to prostitution at the encampment. He showed KGO where someone had fired a gun at the building and damaged it. While the company denies that the music is intended to drive away the homeless, Gaylord said he will press on with the lawsuit in order to defend the people at the encampment. "I'm just a person who has schizoaffective disorder and mental illness. And as you can see, I'm in a wheelchair," said Gaylord.He also said that company was unable to produce police reports to support their claim that the homeless people at the encampment had been "bad neighbors." Despite the victory against classical music, the encampment may be dismantled if a separate lawsuit falls in favor of the city. Like Blaze News?
