This is how my morning begins every day. Obtaining water is one of the hardest things in Gaza. Every day at six in the morning, a truck comes to fill our water containers and then leaves, not returning until the next day. If you don't arrive early, you will be without water for the entire day. It becomes even more difficult when I need to shower. I plead with the truck driver to increase my share of water so that I have the chance to shower. Every night, I pray to God that I reach the spot early before the truck arrives. Sometimes, I can't make it on time, and I start thinking about how the day will go without water. Providing water for me and my siblings throughout the day has become a dream, whereas we once had much bigger dreams. Thank God, today I arrived early and managed to take this picture to show you our painful reality. My hope in you, after God, is to rescue us from this nightmare so that we can move to a place where we can start new dreams and have a beautiful life.💔🇵🇸

My friends, you have become my second family, concerned about my survival and that of my family from Gaza. Believe me, we are suffering greatly from circumstances beyond your imagination and ones I cannot fully explain. In addition to the enemy's brutality and attacks, we are struggling to obtain the most basic necessities of life that were once available to us. My hope rests in you and your assistance, my brothers and sisters, to escape to a safe place. I would be immensely grateful to you.🫂❤️🇵🇸

On June 1, 1918, the battle of Belleau Wood began.

The Marines who fought there, cemented a legacy for generations to come. This was the first large-scale battle for the Marines and one that would be seared into the collective memory of the United States Marine Corps. The battle was fierce and raged for more than three weeks, finally coming to an end on June 26, 1918.

A captured German officer said the Marines fought like devils, calling them "teufel hunden." From that day on, Marines would be forever known as Devil Dogs.

This painting, by artist Franc-Earle Schoonover, shows the Marines’ savage fight for infamous, French woods.
