Made my own little contribution to our fight to get our Little Wolf back. Took the money I would use towards the game to adopt a Wolf through Wolf Conservation Center which was recommended in this post.

With all that said, meet Ember. <3 Love him already.

Keep fighting the good fight! We'll get our boy back and if you can, I encourage others to donate or adopt. Let's spin this into something beautiful and give back.

American Legion commander calls for resignation of Hudson officers after audio cut during veteran's speech on Black people’s role in Memorial Day

Retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter thought it was an audio glitch at first, but it was no glitch at all. His microphone was purposely muted for several minutes.

Horrible censorship and disrespect to a veteran. I must have missed this when it happened. I live nearby and Hudson is a great town. Glad there were repercussions for those responsible.

Yes, that happened.

In Hudson, Ohio, in 2021, retired Army Lt. Col. Barnard Kemter’s microphone was intentionally turned down during a Memorial Day speech when he began discussing the role of freed Black Americans in one of the earliest Memorial Day commemorations. Organizers initially claimed that portion was “not relevant” to the day’s program. The backlash was immediate. The Ohio American Legion called for resignations, said the censorship was deliberate, and the local post’s charter was suspended pending closure.

A veteran giving a Memorial Day speech gets cut off specifically when acknowledging Black Americans’ role in the holiday’s history… and the organizers thought that was the appropriate choice? The symbolism practically screams.

What made it worse was the initial justification—that it was somehow “not relevant.” The origins of the holiday being discussed on the holiday itself is about as relevant as it gets.
