In May 1865, nearly two hundred #AfricanAmerican Union soldiers received the Butler Medal. This medal was the only one created during the #CivilWar honoring a specific regiment or action.

While he is known as the Father of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, which Union general gave the National Weather Service its first name: The Division of Telegrams and Reports for the Benefit of Commerce?
Answer shared tomorrow!

The best thing about having cats is the cardboard boxes you set out for a few days instead of recycling them.
“Oh that? Yeah, that’s the kitten’s K-cup box. She loves running full speed, diving head first into it, & sliding across the kitchen floor.”
