THE FLYOVER REPLAY.

Monday, May 26, 2025.

Good Morning! On this day in 1927, Henry Ford and his son Edsel drove the 15 millionth Model T out of their factory, marking the iconic automobile’s official final day of production.

We hope you’re having a restful Memorial Day as we reflect on those who served. One of the most powerful tributes this weekend is unfolding on the National Mall, where USAA’s 134-foot Poppy Wall of Honor returns to commemorate more than 600,000 fallen service members.

Today’s and tomorrow’s editions are shorter so our team can spend time with loved ones. Thanks for reading—full coverage returns Wednesday!

We hope you enjoyed reading today’s Flyover. Let us know how we’re doing by replying to Russell Sherrard at russellsherrard@reagan.com.

The sponsors keep the tanks full around here. Be sure to check out today’s sponsors.

TAKEOFF.

Memorial Day Severe Weather Possible.

The Memorial Day weather is likely to be split today, with cool, pleasant temperatures in the Midwest and Northeast and rain and possible severe weather in Southern states.

Areas surrounding cities like Oklahoma City, Little Rock, Memphis, and Fort Worth are at the highest risk of severe weather today, with possible flooding, severe storms, and tornadoes.

Today will cap off a weekend of festivities across the country, with the National Memorial Day Parade in Washington, D.C., being the largest event on the docket.

Forecasts are calling for an overcast parade in D.C., which will include appearances from Kiss rock star Gene Simmons and four Medal of Honor recipients as the Grand Marshals.

Military Spends Big to Rebuild Ranks.

The U.S. military has poured over $6 billion into recruiting and retention over the last three years, scrambling to reverse enlistment declines worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Navy, despite being smaller than the Army, led spending efforts, offering hefty bonuses to both officers and enlisted sailors, with some incentives topping $150,000.

The Army’s biggest comeback move was the launch of the Future Soldier Prep Course in 2022. This course helps borderline candidates meet fitness and academic standards. It now boasts a 95% graduation rate and has sent nearly 25,000 recruits to basic training.

Meanwhile, across all branches, pandemic-era setbacks, like school closures and rising youth disqualification rates, continue to shape a more expensive, more aggressive fight for manpower.

Top Beach Towns to Visit or Buy In.

Realtor.com’s 2025 list of the most affordable beach towns for homebuyers ranks Pascagoula, Mississippi, at No. 1, with a median list price of $165,610.

Other top entries include Deerfield Beach, Florida ($211,750), and Surfside Beach, South Carolina ($310,925).

If you’re not in the market to buy a beach property, just want to enjoy a perfect beach, this year’s top-rated list includes Coopers Beach in Southampton, New York, along with Beachwalker Park in South Carolina and Delnor-Wiggins Pass in Florida.

And thats the news for today.

And Now, a word from our sponsor – Interactive Romans Road American Standard Version.

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road American Standard Version.

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
