Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

The Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, went to pay his respects to the servicemembers and civilians lost in Pearl Harbor on “June 7th, 1941.” It looks good, except Pearl Harbor happened on December 7th. It seems Mr. Phelan skipped that part of history class. Only the best people, right?

This is really cool. Reddit users coming through again. “A team of volunteer archivists has recreated the Centers for Disease Control website exactly as it was the day Donald Trump was inaugurated. The site, called RestoredCDC.org”

This is correct. (1) Trump's EO does not make English the official language of the US gov. (2) Journalists REALLY need to think more completely about what an EO is and what EOs do. (3) I'm coming around on the need to insist that EOs are not "law" but I still think that's not careful enough...
