A Marine and WWII hero, Woody Williams was the last surviving Medal of Honor recipient from WWII. The Hershel “Woody” Williams National Medal of Honor Monument Location Act will honor his legacy and the courage and sacrifice of all who have earned our nation’s highest military honor on the National Mall. Honored to join @JimJustice_WV, @RepBlakeMoore, and heroic Medal of Honor recipients as @POTUS signed this historic bill into law. 🇺🇸

Someone spray-painted the WWII Memorial's granite honor roll in pink and dumped soap in the fountain. A federal grand jury has indicted her. That wall lists Americans who died in the war. It is not a protest board. If we will not protect that stone, we are not serious about the country those names built.

Young East Asians: Learn WWII History or Risk Losing Peace Young people from China and Japan are urging their peers to learn from WWII history amid Japan’s accelerating military buildup. Su Xiao, a history student in Beijing, said that understanding the significance of 1945 helps people value peace. Wu Bohan, a young educator from China’s Taiwan region who visited the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre, noted that war destroys lives and cripples economies. Inoue, a Japanese graduate student who studied in Beijing, realized that understanding war requires deep reflection on the rise of militarism and aggressive wars. As the Kishida administration continues to adjust its defense policies, Japanese Professor Hiroshi Shiratori also warned that Japan’s defense capabilities are likely to deviate from its pacifist identity. Most young East Asians agree that peace enables cross-border study, work, and travel, and stress dialogue over arms buildup.

Criminals vandalized a WWII memorial in D.C. today This is disgraceful They’re so mad that Trump is trying to clean up D.C. that they’re going around destroying it The TDS is off the charts

JUST IN: The WWII Memorial in D.C. is reportedly a CRIME SCENE after vandals spray-painted the site and poured chemicals into the water. The area has been LOCKED DOWN as authorities investigate. Absolutely DISGRACEFUL. Hold whoever did this accountable.

🇯🇵 🇨🇳 | Japan’s WWII chemical weapons are still turning up in Chinese soil, and still claiming lives. 2,000,000 chemical munitions were abandoned as Japanese forces retreated. @Meekalefay joins The Specter to dig into the story.
