"Eighty-two years after his execution by the Gestapo on June 16, 1944, the Jewish historian and resistance fighter Marc Bloch will be inducted into the Pantheon on June 23... His family requested that 'the far right, in all its forms, be excluded from any participation in the ceremony.'"
Marc Bloch, historien et résistant juif, entrera au Panthéon le 23 juin
Marc Bloch, historien et résistant juif, entrera au Panthéon le 23 juin
La date du 16 juin avait été dans un premier temps pressentie pour son entrée au Panthéon, mais la cérémonie a dû être décalée de quelques jours en raison du G7 à Evian-les-Bains.

President Trump showcased the range of personas he has used for decades in public life, and newer ones he has employed in his second term, during an interview with The New York Times. Most of all, he sought to present himself as indefatigable. nyti.ms/4aMlbkc

Wavy Navy! Cnd naval reservists get wavy cuff embroidery instead of straight lines. I have always been delighted by this moniker.
[November 13th, 1945] Lieut. Robert Hampton "Hammy" Gray of Nelson, B.C., was posthumously awarded the Victoria Cross for his heroic attack on a Japanese destroyer during World War II, which cost him his life. He was the 13th Canadian to receive the honor and the first Canadian Navy member to do so.
