Arlington National Cemetery Announces Wreaths Across America Event Update

Wreaths Across America: Update 11/25/2020

ARLINGTON, VA – Arlington National Cemetery (ANC) and Wreaths Across America (WAA), along with our partners the U.S. Army Military District of Washington (MDW) and the 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” (TOG), will safely lay and recover approximately 267,000 wreaths to honor our nation’s heroes and their family members this December.

We developed this plan to balance our security posture and health and safety requirements with the desire to allow limited in-person participation. Therefore, family pass holders of those interred at ANC and Soldiers’ and Airmen’s Home National Cemetery (SAHNC) will be able to lay wreaths in person at designated times. Members of the general public can take part in this year’s National Wreath Day in a virtual setting. This plan enables us to preserve our capability to execute our primary mission to bury our nation’s service members and their eligible family members with the honor and dignity the American people have come to expect from Arlington National Cemetery.

BLM activist who led Breonna Taylor protests killed during carjacking

A Black Lives Matter activist, who led protests following the death of Breonna Taylor at the hands of the Louisville Police Department, was shot and killed during a recent carjacking, according to his mother. On Monday, Nov. 23, Hamza “Travis” Nagdy was identified as the victim of a shooting that occurred during a carjacking on Crittenden Drive in Louisville, Kentucky. The known activist was reportedly “struck by multiple bullets,” according to Democracy Now. While very few details about the shooting have been released, Louisville Metro Police spokesman Matt Sanders did confirm that Nagdy was transported to the University of Louisville Hospital where he later succumbed to his injuries, reports USA Today.

As news of Nagdy’s death began circulating on social media, Taylor’s mother, Tamika Palmer, shared her reaction to his death on Facebook. Palmer described having Nadgy’s support as an honor following the untimely death of her daughter. “It’s somethings I will never understand it’s also somethings, I know I’m not suppose to question but I need clarity about 2020,” she wrote. “RIP Travis you were amazing and I was honored to have you standing for Bre… Another beautiful soul lost as we continue to fight for justice!!” A GoFundMe account has been established by Nagdy’s sister, Sarah, in his honor.

'How Very Orwellian of You': Vermont Governor Makes Schools Question Kids About Thanksgiving Plans

If families in Vermont dare to go to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving they can forget about sending their children back to school next week. According to Gov. Phil Scott, schools will be adding new questions to daily health checks about how students spent their holiday. Depending on the answer, kids may have to take online classes for a two-week period or quarantine for a week and then get tested for COVID-19. If negative, they can come back. "We understand how difficult this is, but since we know these types of gatherings have been the cause of so many outbreaks, we've got to do all we can to slow this down," Scott said.

The governor, a “Republican,” thought businesses should require the same of their employees. “From my standpoint, this is fair warning to those of you who are planning to have gatherings from outside your household for Thanksgiving,” Scott continued. “If you don’t want your kids to have to transition to remote learning and quarantine for a seven-day period, maybe you ought to make other plans.” The 7-day rolling average of daily new cases in Vermont has risen over the past two weeks from 28 new cases per day on Nov. 9 to 100.86 new cases per day on Nov. 23. Currently, there are 22 people hospitalized with COVID-19, including five who are hospitalized in the intensive care unit. In addition, 64 people have died from the virus. (Fox News) Twitter users couldn't believe the government was essentially asking kids to rat out their family.
