I’d buy that for $30,500. Unfortunately I think they mean $30.5 million.

He was told they couldn't find his diploma until his sister, whom he hadn't seen in over a year because she was on military duty, walked out carrying it.

[History With Jacob @HistoryWJacob]

May 1918. Blackstone Hotel

Taft checks in and the clerk mentions Roosevelt is eating dinner there. The two hadn't spoken in six years.

They ran against each other in 1912, splitting the Republican Party and handing the White House to Woodrow Wilson. The friendship was dead.

Taft walked into the dining room anyway.

Roosevelt's friends saw him coming and went silent. He turned around. Taft was smiling.

Roosevelt jumped up and bear-hugged the man he had once called a "Fathead" with "Brains of a guinea pig".

The dining room stood up and applauded. Strangers who had read about the feud for years watched it end in real time.

Eight months later, Roosevelt died.

At the funeral, Taft stood alone and wept.

He later told Roosevelt's sister: "Had he died in a hostile state of mind toward me, I would have mourned the fact all my life. I loved him always and cherish his memory."

Don't wait.

Every year, 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. #MemorialDayWeekend

That time the Mariners brought out “Ichiro girl” to throw out the first pitch. Little did she know she’d be throwing to Ichiro himself!
