The mayor of Anchorage, Alaska – the state’s largest city – floated the idea of sending some of the city’s homeless population to Los Angeles and other cities with more temperate climates earlier this week. Mayor Dave Bronson first brought the idea up at a news conference on Tuesday, saying that plane tickets would be purchased for unhoused people to send them to cities where they have families who can care for them or where the climate is warmer, according to the L.A. Times. No funding has been approved yet for the relocation program, but Mayor Bronson believes that funding won’t be hard to come by. At Tuesday’s news conference, Bronson said that 11 individuals “exercised [the] option” to be transported to the “lower 48 states” last summer through a program affiliated with the Salvation Army in 2022. “This last year was the deadliest year in history for people who are homeless dying on the streets [in Anchorage] ...and now this coming winter, we are looking at possibly even do...Death of woman at Oakland homeless camp being investigated as a homicide

BATH, Maine (AP) — Marine 1st Lt. Harvey “Barney” Barnum jumped to the ground when he came under fire during an ambush in Vietnam that killed his radio operator and commander.Collecting himself, Barnum realized he was now the highest-ranking officer of a rifle company he’d just joined. He called in artillery and, amid gunfire, dragged the commander to safety, where he died in Barnum’s arms. Then he proceeded to mount a counterattack, oversee evacuation of the wounded and lead the unit’s eventual break out to rejoin the battalion.The Medal of Honor recipient, now 83, watched Saturday as his wife smashed a bottle of sparkling wine against the bow to christen the future U.S. Navy destroyer that’ll bear the name Harvey C.
