Colorado Springs Air Force Academy complying with order to tag 'DEI' materials

Books on the Holocaust, histories of feminism, civil rights and racism, as well as Maya Angelou’s famous, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings,” were among the 381 books that were removed from the U.S. Naval Academy’s Nimitz Library.

Remembering six U.S. military veterans who died alone:

Andrew Stanley Brzowtowski, originally of Syracuse, New York. #USArmy #VietnamVeteran
John Randolph McConnell, born in Maine. #USAirForce
Jeffrey A. Graham, born in Kentucky. US Army
David Calvin Schaeffer, from South Dakota. #USNavy
Ralph D. Hucke, born in Oregon. USArmy #DesertStormVeteran
Richard Clarence Wilkerson, born in Los Angeles. US Army

"Murphy talked about the struggles that veterans face when they come home, like maintaining relationships with loved ones, another casualty of their service.

“'So keep that in your heart.'”

Thank you, Pam Marino @pammarino, for "Six veterans who died alone are interred with full military honors at the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery.”

"The ceremony was made possible by a policy change at the National Cemetery Administration, part of the Veterans Administration, last year.” montereycountynow.com/blogs/op

Good that all but one crew is safe after this toxic tanker collision in the North Sea. The potential environmental damage is devastating.
Another question: what is a US flagged oil tanker carrying jet fuel for the US Air Force doing anchored off the East Yorkshire coast? Is this for the East Anglian US airbases?
