“Old Dependable” played 14 National Football League seasons, all with the New York Giants where he ranks third in receptions (395), fifth in receiving yards (4,993) and 14th in rushing yards (2,474) in franchise history. His number 40 is retired by the club. After his playing days he was a head coach in the college ranks, most notably at the University of South Carolina where he led them to their highest ever national ranking (2nd) in 1984. Joe Morrison would have turned 89 today but passed away from congestive heart failure in 1989 at the age of 51.

On June 1, 2026, a flag flew above the United States Capitol in honor of Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday.

It is a fitting tribute to an extraordinary American life.

Marilyn worked in a defense factory during World War II. She traveled to Korea in 1954 to entertain American servicemen, performing for thousands of troops in bitter winter conditions. Throughout her life, she maintained a deep affection for those who served and understood the extraordinary reach of the platform she had been given.

She became one of America’s great cultural icons, but behind that image was a woman who worked, persevered, challenged convention and gave back.

As we continue to celebrate her 100th birthday, we remember Marilyn not simply for her fame, but for her contribution to American culture, her support of our servicemen and women, and the humanity behind an enduring American icon.

Through the Marilyn Monroe Mental Health for the Arts Program, we are carrying that spirit of service forward —turning remembrance into something that can help others.

These cards are pretty cool not an auto but a cut written word from a President is always cool
