In one of her many memorable hit songs, Dolly Parton famously sang about a “9 to 5” job that was “all taking and no giving.” So, in looking back on her amazing legacy, it's fitting to remember her for all her giving to others throughout her life: all the joy she gave us all with her incredibly beautiful songwriting, her captivating voice, and her endless creative pursuits. The 300 million free books she gave to children across America and around the world through her Imagination Library. All the fun she gave to families who visited Dollywood. The crucial funding and support she gave for medical research into pediatric cancer, infectious diseases, and not least, the Moderna COVID vaccine. She gave funding to provide shelter and food for the victims of disasters. I’m especially grateful for all that she gave back to our beloved home state of Tennessee. For many, her lasting gift is the inspiration to give back to our own communities with the same passion, humor, and conviction as Dolly. God bless her and may she rest in peace. We will always love her!
Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.
On September 12, 2001, NATO invoked Article 5—its collective defence clause—for the first and only time, rallying all member nations to support the United States after the 9/11 attacks.
Canada contributed significantly to the subsequent NATO-led mission in Afghanistan (2001–2014). The "Highway of Heroes" is a stretch of Highway 401 in eastern Ontario, where fallen Canadian soldiers' remains are solemnly transported by convoy from CFB Trenton to Toronto (and onward to burial), with crowds often lining bridges to pay tribute.
During the mission, 158 Canadian Armed Forces members died in service, with thousands more injured—all in solidarity with the U.S. and NATO allies following 9/11.
Other NATO allies suffered significant casualties as well: the United Kingdom lost around 457 personnel, France 90, Germany 62, Italy 53, Denmark 43, and many others (total coalition deaths, including non-NATO partners, exceeded 3,500, with non-U.S. NATO members accounting for roughly 1,100–1,200 fatalities).
Dolly Parton reminds us that there was once an America that was united through common values like decency, hard work, kindness, and a healthy sense of humor — and that we have the potential to achieve that again, if we dare to try it.
In September, 2011 President Obama wrote a personal letter to Prime Minister Harper and all Canadians thanking them for coming to the rescue of tens of thousands of Americans on 9-11.
He wrote:
“In one of the darkest moments of our history, Canada stood by our side and showed itself to be a true friend,”
“We remember with gratitude and affection how the people of Canada offered us the comfort of friendship and extraordinary assistance that day and in the following days by opening their airports, homes and hearts to us.”
“On this anniversary, we recognize all the gestures of friendship and solidarity shown to us by Canada and its people and give thanks for our continuing special relationship.”
By the end of the day, more than 33,000 people, predominantly American, on 224 aircraft had arrived in Canada - primarily in Vancouver, Gander, Halifax, Goose Bay, Whitehorse, Edmonton and Calgary.
It's a big deal sitting at John McCain’s desk and serving Arizonans in his Senate seat for a Navy guy like me. He's someone I always looked up to and who always fought to make our country and the world a better place by standing up for democracy and freedom.
I’ve played EA games since One on One (Larry Bird vs Dr J) circa 1983, and commend EA for a long line of successful products, but it’s time to draw a line in the sand against micro transactions. #cfbplaydontpay
i don’t like being blindsided by micro transactions and removing features hidden behind all the new shiny stuff
i like the game a lot. the devs did a great job. whoever made the micro transaction decision did not #CFBPlayDontPay
