Two images have been shared hundreds of times in multiple posts on Facebook alongside a claim they show Myanmar army tanks that were destroyed by the anti-coup rebels. The claim is false: the photos in fact show two different Iraqi military incidents in 1991 and 2013.
In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson declared the second Sunday in the month of May to be Motherâs Day. In a proclamation he wrote, âIt is a chance to publicly express love and reverence for the mothers of our country.â
In that one stroke of a pen Motherâs Day became a National Holiday in the United States. Truly, I have to hand it to President Wilson. I mean, he had a lot of other things going on in this country. He was dealing with maintaining the neutrality between the Allies and Central Power after the outbreak of World War I. The suffragettes were marching down his heels as well, and yet, he declared a Motherâs Day holiday. Some think he wanted to give tribute (and I am sure he did) to his mother who planned their gardens at their home in Staunton, Virginia.
