Read about REAL AMERICAN HEROES
I spotted this on Snopes:
Arlington National Cemetery removed links to webpages about Black, Hispanic and female veterans
Investigating a claim seen on social media, Snopes discovered that “between December 2024 and March 2025, several links to pages relating to Black, Hispanic and female veterans disappeared from Arlington National Cemetery’s website.”
Snopes reached out to Arlington National Cemetery and “cemetery officials confirmed that they “unpublished” the pages in question in compliance with a [T___p] administration executive order on diversity, equity and inclusion and a resulting directive from U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth ‘targeting race and gender-related language and policies in the military.’”
Erasing history isn’t new; every fascist regime does it as a stepping stone to power. It falls to all of us to record and preserve the truth, which is the point of this post. I’m going to share stories of real American heroes on my blog and in my newsletter. They’ll appear in the Categories under “Real American Heroes.” I hope you’ll share them to keep the names and their contributions alive.
I also hope you’ll share the names and stories of other Real American Heroes on your blog, website, newsletter, social media, community bulletin board, classroom bulletin board, store window, or anywhere else they’ll be seen.
