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.

#OnThisDay, 21 Mar 1945, Hannie Schaft, an active member of the Dutch resistance known as "the girl with the red hair", is arrested.
She is executed by the Nazis, allegedly saying "I shoot better" after their first attempt missed.

The Russian Kilo-class submarine Novorossiysk (B-61) has left the Mediterranean, retreating from Syria. The withdrawal leaves Russia with no permanent sub based in the Mediterranean.
As seen through the sight of the Portuguese frigate NRP Álvares Cabral.

Didn’t they excavate some stone that Marcus Antonius placed there to further substantiate this is the site? Fascinating! Thank you.

Its pretty clear now who Russia was relying on to maintain their naval strength (albeit no doubt their trainers also deserve credit - the win belongs to the Ukrainians). The problem with empire, once you've lost your minions, you have to send Musocovites or Peterburzhechs to war -> a failed war.
