Today is National Maritime Day. Created in 1933, the holiday recognizes the maritime industry's crucial role in the economy and security of the nation. Often overlooked is the fact that the Merchant Marine suffered the highest casualty rate of any U.S. service during WWII.

“You are living proof of your ancestors’ dreams.” — @levarburton

This weekend, Howard University celebrated the largest graduating class in our history — 3,167 strong — with none other than the legendary storyteller and literacy champion, LeVar Burton, delivering a powerful, heartfelt send-off to the Class of 2025.

From honoring our legacy to embracing the future, Burton reminded us that commencement is more than a ceremony — it’s a passage.

@watkinson_gaz It’s all the more thrilling to imagine that some of the most senior sergeants, officers, and older constables may have also served in WWI.

Today, I joined @MayorBowser to announce a new partnership between @dcfireems and @udc_edu, creating a direct path for DC residents into paramedicine.

This initiative tackles the paramedic shortage while expanding access to quality healthcare training.

Our brand-new partnership with @dcfireems and @udc_edu creates a direct pathway to careers in paramedicine for people who know DC.

@emt_uk @NatashaMDay Quite smart indeed!!

@Skepticalfa @718Tv That’s a great graphic! I don’t know that they’re easier, but the American “pyramid of honor” has evolved significantly since the world wars. Some of the awards seen on World War II generals were established in the 1920’ 30’s. it has changed again post GWOT.

[Chief Julius D. Jackson, FAWM, NCEE @DCPSEMT]

@718Tv There was once a long-standing practice in the US Army for General Officers to prescribe their own uniforms with wide latitude. This ended in decades after World War II. This is a part of why Patton can sometimes be seen in riding pants.
