"Describe your perfect date." "I'd have to say April 25th. Because it's not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket." - from the movie, "Miss Congeniality" Grant was usually pictured with a jacket! His military jackets were made of wool, so definitely not light.

Happy Arbor Day! What do this Memorial & a sequoia tree in Sequoia & Kings Cyn have in common? They're both named for General Grant! Located in Grant Grove in Kings Canyon N.P., this is one of the largest trees on Earth, standing at ~268.1 ft (88.7 m) tall! nps.gov/seki/learn/nat…

Memorial Day is a time of remembrance for those who lost their lives while serving in the US military. The mausoleum not only honors General Grant, but the other Union Army soldiers who sacrificed their lives to preserve the union during the Civil War.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈! General Grant's great, great-grandson, Ulysses Grant Dietz, wrote his memoir, "Growing Up Grant," about his life as both U.S. Grant's descendent and an openly gay man in the peak of the LGBTQ+ movement. What does Pride mean to you?
