Sunday will mark the 40th anniversary of the dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. More than 58,000 names of every US service member who died or went missing in the Vietnam War have been read this week leading up to a Veterans Day Observance at the memorial today.
The wall, consisting of two 200-foot-long sections of black granite listing the names in chronological order, was designed by then-21-year-old Yale student Maya Lin and cost $8.4M to construct. More than 5 million people each year visit the wall, making it one of the most visited memorials on the National Mall. See some of the items that have been left at the wall.

Trends tend to cycle in and out. But I'm pretty sure this has NEVER been considered "cool" before and the newest beauty trend is to do your make-up so it looks like you just got done crying.
A make-up artist on TikTok named Zoe Kenealy is going viral after she posted a tutorial on how to do it. Her claim is that a lot of women think they look good right after they cry, and some people in the comments seem to agree with that, like it's sort of a damsel-in-distress look.
She says to put red blush around your eyes, and on your nose. And she puts some liquid glitter under her eyes to mimic the look of wiped-away tears catching the light. That's probably the most important part.
You also have to curl your lashes and make them look like they're clumped together a little. She says it "completes the look."

My neighbor recently posted a video of her backyard visitors..Raccoons.
I should tell her that it's not legal to own them unless she goes down the road over the border to PA where it is legal! (The yellow states are legal.)
