The world let out a collective sigh of relief when the two British divers found the boy’s soccer team in northern Thailand, who have been trapped in a flooded cave for days.

The U.S. Department of State has released its “Trafficking in Persons Report 2018.” The in-depth 486 page report outlines many facets of human trafficking, from the general business practices of local crimes of opportunity (like an abusive boyfriend selling his girlfriend‘s body for money), all the way up to larger, illicit organizations that traffic people […]

The next was a significant drop — 155,041 deaths due to chronic lower respiratory diseases. That’s […]
By the time you’re 25 years old, roughly one-third of the people who were alive when you were born are dead.

The United States Marine Corps War Memorial is an iconic piece of American history. It is a tangible representation of fundamental American values — courage, perseverance, patriotism and honoring the “man in the arena” who has secured our nation’s freedom, often at a terrible price.

Twelve boys ages 11-16 and their soccer coach went exploring an immense, six-mile long cave complex near Mae Sai, Chiang Rai, Thailand. Monsoon rains hit soon after, quickly flooding the cave system and trapping the boys and their coach inside.
