American Values Sunday 🇺🇸

Last Saturday morning in Marshall, Minnesota, people packed the Adult Community Center to thank six local veterans the old-fashioned way, with a handmade quilt.

The local Quilts of Valor group, Pieces for Heroes, has about 20 volunteers who meet up to sew, plus others who quilt at home. Every quilt has its own patriotic design, picked to go with the veteran receiving it.

The men honored served in the Air Force, the Navy and Naval Reserve, and the Army and Army National Guard. Kenneth Schultz served on submarines out of Pearl Harbor from 1960 to 1964. Emmet Bakke taught Air Force crews how to survive if they were shot down. Lee Steven Simmons was in the Guard from 1971 to 2007, was in charge of his Redwood Falls unit's troops when they deployed to Kosovo in 2003, and retired after 38 years of service.

David Erp, Curt Fried and Barry Nauman were wrapped in quilts too.

"It is a blessing to see all of you so very proud of our veterans," said Nancy McClain of Quilts of Valor.

Her message to the men was simple: "We want you to know that you will always be in our hearts."

Nobody asked for a grant or waited on a program. A group of neighbors with sewing machines decided these men deserved a thank-you they could wrap up in. That's what American values look like, and it's still alive out here.

Headlines treat XRP like a ticker. @XRPLF

It isnt. The XRP Ledger is a computer protocol. A shared record that moves money and tokens.

Heres what its built to do, and what it still needs.

What it still needs is real use.

One day, Nov 8 10 PM to Nov 9 10 PM CST: 3,589,554 transactions. 48% were empty Batch tries plus tecPATH_DRY failed trades.

Fees burned: 1,401.78 XRP, matching supply drop. Other ledgers want this job. Institutions move slowly. We'll see.

@ALFLdel @ZachHumphries Exactly, it was the same time he said he sold ETH for solar panels on his house. You're right, not new.

@bible_xrp @XRPLF Not at all. It shows the XRPL is exactly how its always been explained. A fast cheap payment, it selects the cheapest path to settlement. In the sample thats 93% of the time for RLUSD conversions.

3.5 million transactions during the sample, RLUSD was only 100,000 of them.

I counted 24 hours of RLUSD on the XRP Ledger. @XRPLF

Everyone argues about whether RLUSD uses XRP. Nobody publishes the numbers. So I pulled them straight from the ledger.

@camhigby We wanted your support with flock cameras, we didn't get it.

You're on your own.
