The words “Never, has so much, been owed be so many, to so few” have been etched on my memory since I visited the Imperial War Museum at a young age.
Yesterday John “Paddy” Hemingway DFC passed away at the age of 105.
He was the last of “the few”.
Their bravery shall never be forgotten. 🫡

📸 No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:
