March 21, 2003 — the day the Global War on Terror claimed its first American son. 1st Lt. Shane Childers, USMC. My comrade. My brother. My friend. #MemorialDay #FirstToDie

Just watched American Manhunt on @netflix. It hit different. I served at the US Embassy in Nairobi—the same one Bin Laden bombed in ’98. I had just left that post. Then I responded to 9/11. Then I deployed to Iraq. Years later, I met the man who took the shot: SEAL Rob O’Neill

“…A SOUND THAT HOLDS MEANING, FAR BEYOND ITS SIMPLICITY…” On December 20, 2024, I gave a speech I’ll never forget—and my final one as president of the Ramos Foundation. I chose to deliver it on the 10th anniversary of Detectives Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu’s untimely

Detectives WenJian Liu and Rafael Ramos were assassinated 10 years ago as they sat in their patrol car. Killed for wearing our blue uniform, WenJian and Rafael are true NYC heroes. We forever keep them and their loved ones in our prayers – and continue our vow to #NeverForget.

Still hard to believe it’ll be 10 years on the 20th of this month. Just like 9/11, when their assassinations occurred I remember exactly where I was, what I was doing and who I was with. Do you? #NeverForget #RemembranceAndAction #NYPD

Ran the NYC Marathon in 2017, and it was life-changing. Today, many first-time marathoners were born, pushing past limits they never thought possible. As John Bingham said, “The miracle isn’t that I finished. The miracle is that I had the courage to start!” #NYCMarathon

A few years ago, a boy saw me in uniform at Grand Central, thinking I was filming for Gotham. It was a reminder: my mission has always been to serve. Marine. First responder. Actor. Service is in my DNA. What’s your excuse? What’s your calling? #NoDaysOff #LegacyBuilding
