For 16-year-old Tyler Sowden, it just came naturally.</p> <p>“I don’t even know what was going through my head,” Sowden <a title="VIDEO: Cleveland teen rescues mom, children from burning home | Fox 8" href="https://fox8.com/news/cleveland-fire-dept-fights-house-fire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Fox 8 News</a> in Cleveland March 28. “I just grabbed the ladder and ran.” He’d just rescued a mother and her two young children from the roof of a burning home.</p> <p>Sowden was at home when he heard screams and saw smoke in his Cleveland neighborhood. He carried a ladder to a neighbor’s house where a mother was stranded on the roof with two children, smoke pouring out a window behind them.</p> <p>Surveillance video captured Sowden carrying a 10-month-old baby down the ladder then guiding the mother and son who followed them down. Others came to hold the ladder. Flames lapped onto the roof as fire trucks arrived. A third child jumped to safety out the back.</p> <p>“I’m giving him a lot credit to do what he did,” said Cleveland Fire Lieutenant Mike Norman, noting Sowden’s bravery and quick decision to grab the ladder. “It was very heroic to do the right thing and at the right time to save those people.”</p> <p>Sowden’s heroics aren’t unheard of in the Ohio city of 360,000 in the Midwestern U.S. In May 2024, John Stickovich stopped his car on the way to work and charged into a burning home. A mother had escaped with one of her children. Stickovich crawled inside under billowing smoke to rescue a baby girl.</p> <p>Sowden’s heroics aired on national news and made him a symbol of selflessness. Norman said someone in Arizona wrote a poem in Sowden’s honor. Basketball star Donovan Mitchell, of the Cleveland Cavaliers, <a title="Gabriella Kreuz | X" href="https://x.com/thesportsGab/status/1907896249791164822" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commended his bravery</a>. “To be able to, on the fly, just to not think about yourself, to be selfless to go out there to really not do it for any cameras, literally just trying to save lives,” he said. “Guys like him … those are the real heroes in this community.”</p> <p>Judith Avila Padilla, the mother who Sowden rescued, told the <em>Washington Post</em>: “It was God who used him like an angel to save our lives.”</p> <p>“I’m proud of myself,” Sowden told Fox 8 News. “I feel like a firefighter.”</p> <blockquote data-service="twitter" data-category="marketing" data-placeholder-image="https://uz.usembassy.gov/wp-content/plugins/complianz/assets/images/placeholders/twitter-minimal.jpg" class="cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet tw-align-center"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Hero teen Tyler Sowden heard screams Friday and jumped into action.

One of its founders, editor and publisher <a title="Library of America remembers Jason Epstein, 1928–2022 | Library of America" href="https://www.loa.org/news-and-views/1921-library-of-america-remembers-jason-epstein-1928-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jason Epstein</a>, considered the library an American answer to France’s La Pléiade, a collection of famous French writings.</p> <p>Its selections offer readers a way to read many books that have gone out of print and also more well-known texts, commonly taught in schools, such as Douglass’ writings and Frost’s poems. In every case, the library delivers authoritative texts written as closely as possible to authors’ intents.</p> <p>Volumes, each printed in the library’s trademark black cover with its red-white-and-blue ribbon design, include discarded passages from Richard Wright’s <em>Native Son</em>. A William Faulkner collection restores the author’s experimental syntax to early novels that had been heavily revised by editors before earlier publications.

It continues to evolve. Recent or forthcoming publications track literary movements like the Harlem Renaissance — an outpouring of music and literature in early 20th century New York — or the development of the short story — a largely American art form with its genesis in the early 19th century.</p> <p>Rudin says publishing collections drawn from entire literary movements enables the library to include influential, but lesser-known writers in addition to established names.</p> <p>A forthcoming volume of African American science fiction and fantasy stories reveals connections among contemporary writers like N.K. Jemisin and earlier science-fiction writers like Octavia Butler and Ursula K. Le Guin, whose works the library has published previously in separate volumes.</p> <p>“Part of the idea of the Library of America is to suggest that the tradition is living,” Rudin says. “We’re publishing these books because they’re still inspiring and provoking writers now.”</p> </p> </div> </div> </section> <p><a href="https://share.america.gov/library-of-americas-inspiring-story/">The Library of America’s inspiring story</a></p></div></div></li><li class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item_wrapper"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_image"><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/why-foreign-companies-invest-in-the-us/" title="Why foreign companies invest in the U.S."><img src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/04/Foreign-Investment-5-300x129.jpg" alt="Why foreign companies invest in the U.S."></a></div><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/why-foreign-companies-invest-in-the-us/" title="Why foreign companies invest in the U.S.">Why foreign companies invest in the U.S.</a><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_container"><div></div><section class="ga-title stacking-slide container-fluid internaltitle-block"> <div class="internal-title alignwide internalpage container"> <div class="internal-title-wrapper"> <div id="internal-title-header" class="internal-title-header ">Why foreign companies invest in the U.S.</div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="ga-content-block stacking-slide white-section-background-color paragraphsection"> <div class="paragraph alignwide container meta-info-top"> </div> <div class="paragraph alignwide container"> <div class="row"> <p><div class="mceTemp"></div> <figure id="attachment_82798" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-82798" style="width: 1599px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-82798" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/04/Foreign-Investment-6.jpg" alt="People standing near a glass-enclosed LEGO model display of factory (© LEGO)" width="1599" height="1059" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-82798" class="wp-caption-text">The LEGO Group’s Preben Elnef, left, and representatives of the U.S. firms Gray and Hourigan review plans for a new toy factory near Richmond, Virginia.

The American-Japanese baseball connection stretches back 150 years. Although sumo wrestling is often called the national sport in Japan, baseball is the most popular game there. <a title="History of baseball in Japan | MLB" href="https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/japan-baseball-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Introduced to the Japanese people in 1872</a> by an American professor, Horace Wilson, the sport became more popular after American baseball stars such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Jimmie Foxx visited the country and played in exhibition games.</p> <p>This year’s opening day games are part of MLB’s World Tour. Before the Dodgers and Cubs square off, they will play exhibition games against the Hanshin Tigers and the Yomiuri Giants, two teams from Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball Central League. (Since 1999, the first games of the season have been played in non-American parks nine times, including five games in Tokyo.)</p> <p>Playing in Japan brings overflow crowds, and the players look forward to this year’s games at the Tokyo Dome, which they expect will be packed with enthusiastic fans.</p> <figure id="attachment_81038" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-81038" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-81038 size-large" title="Tokyo Dome (©Jheng Yao/Shutterstock.com)" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/Baseball-5-1024x519.jpg" alt="Tokyo Dome (©Jheng Yao/Shutterstock.com)" width="1024" height="519" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-81038" class="wp-caption-text">The Tokyo Dome in Japan is a well-known baseball venue. (©Jheng Yao/Shutterstock.com)</figcaption></figure> <p>The Dodgers are the defending World Series champions and the team’s roster features Japanese-born superstar Shohei Ohtani, a rare two-way player who can win games with his bat and his pitching arm. Ohtani is compared to the legendary Babe Ruth by many sports reporters.</p> <p>Last season, Ohtani could not pitch because of a shoulder injury. But the 1.9-meter, 95-kilogram slugger did plenty with his bat. He batted .310, smashed 54 home runs and batted in 130 runs. He even stole 59 bases while only being caught four times. These heroics — highlighting only a part of his talents — earned him his third American League Most Valuable Player Award.</p> <p>While Ohtani is not expected to pitch in the Tokyo games, he should be ready to help the Dodgers from the mound later in the season. Ohtani has a career record of 38-19 (38 wins, 19 losses) as a starting pitcher.</p> <p>But Ohtani is not the only Japanese player on the Los Angeles team. Right-handed pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto may pitch in one of the Tokyo games. In his first year with the Dodgers, the former Orix Buffaloes star posted a 7-2 record with an average of three earned runs allowed per nine innings. He missed three months of the season with an injury but came back to win two postseason games for the Dodgers, including a stellar start in the second game of the World Series against the New York Yankees.</p> <figure id="attachment_81048" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-81048" style="width: 1024px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-81048 size-large" title="Shohei Ohtani celebrating in dugout (© Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/Baseball-2152991572-1024x683.jpg" alt="Shohei Ohtani celebrating in dugout (© Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)" width="1024" height="683" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-81048" class="wp-caption-text">Shohei Ohtani of the Dodgers celebrates after he hit a home run against the San Francisco Giants May 14, 2024, in San Francisco. (© Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure> <p>The Japanese influence on the Dodgers is not limited to the players on the field. The team’s manager, Dave Roberts, was born in Okinawa.</p> <p>Today, professional baseball in Japan has grown into a <a title="Teams | NPB" href="https://npb.jp/eng/teams/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12-team league</a> spread out among the nation’s islands. The average attendance at each game in the 143-game season is around 30,000 per game, comparable to MLB attendance. And since 1934, dozens of American baseball players have traveled to Japan to play in their professional leagues. Currently, Japanese professional teams can sign as many American players as they want but only four can be part of any team’s 25-member roster.</p> <p>Although Japanese fans are fiercely loyal to their professional teams, they take great pride in the players such as Ohtani, who played for the Hokkaido Nippon-Ham Fighters in Japan, when they play in the American major leagues. MLB players such as Hall of Fame outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, as well as pitchers Yu Darvish and Hideo Nomo remain legends in Japan.</p> <p>Baseball certainly has brought American and Japanese sports cultures and people closer over the years.</p> <p><em>Fred Bowen is a freelance writer.</em></p> </p> </div> </div> </section> <p><a href="https://share.america.gov/play-ball-america-japan/">‘Play ball!’ … in America and Japan</a></p></div></div></li><li class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item_wrapper"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_image"><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-summer-white-house/" title="Presidential monuments: A ‘summer White House’"><img src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/HERO-FEAT-Truman-2-300x180.jpg" alt="Presidential monuments: A ‘summer White House’"></a></div><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-summer-white-house/" title="Presidential monuments: A ‘summer White House’">Presidential monuments: A ‘summer White House’</a><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_container"><div></div><section class="ga-title stacking-slide container-fluid internaltitle-block"> <div class="internal-title alignwide internalpage container"> <div class="internal-title-wrapper"> <div id="internal-title-header" class="internal-title-header ">Presidential monuments: A 'summer White House'</div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="ga-content-block stacking-slide white-section-background-color paragraphsection"> <div class="paragraph alignwide container meta-info-top"> </div> <div class="paragraph alignwide container"> <div class="row"> <p><figure id="attachment_80658" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80658" style="width: 324px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-80658" title="Harry S.

Truman, January 8, 1947</em></p> <p>There are at least 100 monuments, memorials, libraries and other historic sites across the country that honor U.S. presidents. Some are in cities. Others are tucked into less traveled corners or along rural roads.</p> <p>One such place is located on a quiet street in Independence, Missouri. There stands a stately Victorian manor: <a title="Harry S Truman National Historic Site | NPS" href="https://www.nps.gov/hstr/index.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Harry S. Truman National Historic Site</a>, former home of the 33rd president. The house was built in 1867 by the grandfather of Truman’s future wife, Bess Wallace. It is where Truman lived with first lady Bess for a half-century before and after his presidency.</p> <p>Truman was born and raised in Missouri. He married Bess in 1919, and the couple lived in her family’s house on North Delaware Street in Independence until Truman became president. He served as a senator, then as vice president, becoming president upon the death of Franklin Roosevelt in 1945. Even during Truman’s presidency, he and Bess returned to the house whenever they could. Friends referred to it as their “summer White House.”</p> <p>Truman is remembered for leading the country and the world out of World War II and for ending segregation in the military. The U.S. Department of State’s headquarters in Washington is named after him, a testament to his foreign policy legacy.</p> <figure id="attachment_80657" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80657" style="width: 1076px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-80657" title="Harry S.

(© Steve Heap/Shutterstock.com)</figcaption></figure> <p>In the heart of the nation’s capital are grand monuments dedicated to former presidents, but none are as iconic as the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial or the Lincoln Memorial.</p> <p>The Washington Monument, located in the center of the National Mall, honors America’s first president, George Washington (1789–1797). The 169-meter obelisk references the prosperous civilizations of ancient Egypt and Rome. Despite his roles as a founding father and a successful Revolutionary War general, Washington had a quiet demeanor and air of stoicism. He never lived in the White House — as it was under construction at the time of his presidency — but instead lived with his wife Martha and her children from an earlier marriage at Mount Vernon, 22 kilometers outside of the city in Virginia.</p> <p>The Jefferson Memorial, located on the Tidal Basin on the National Mall and built in the Palladian style of Italian Renaissance architecture, was completed in 1943. It reflects Jefferson’s belief in Renaissance ideals of balance and unity — which he strove to apply to both art and politics. (Jefferson designed his home estate, Monticello, in Charlottesville, Virginia, in a similar style.) Jefferson was America’s third president and a founding father who worked to secure international diplomacy abroad while expanding the United States westward. He became the first secretary of state in 1789.</p> <p>The Lincoln Memorial, on the National Mall at the end of the reflecting pool, houses a giant statue of President Abraham Lincoln (1861–1865). The 5.8-meter seated figure looks out at the nation’s capital, with the Washington Monument and Jefferson Memorial in its line of sight.</p> <p>Lincoln guided the nation through the Civil War and signed the 13th Amendment, which emancipated enslaved people. He was a tall man, around 2 meters, and spoke softly despite his towering presence. The monument reflects his larger-than-life presence and legacy and is among the most popular U.S. monuments — an estimated 7 million tourists visit each year.</p> <figure id="attachment_80814" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80814" style="width: 2560px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="wp-image-80814 size-full" title="Left: Jefferson Memorial (© Lissandra Melo/Shutterstock.com) Right: Lincoln Memorial (© Orhan Cam/Shutterstock.com)" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/02/DC-MONUMENTS-combo-scaled.jpg" alt="Left: Jefferson Memorial (© Lissandra Melo/Shutterstock.com) Right: Lincoln Memorial (© Orhan Cam/Shutterstock.com)" width="2560" height="864" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-80814" class="wp-caption-text">Left: The Jefferson Memorial (© Lissandra Melo/Shutterstock.com) Right: The Lincoln Memorial (© Orhan Cam/Shutterstock.com)</figcaption></figure> <p><em>Read our digital story to learn more about <a title="Monumental Presidents | State Dept." href="https://stories.state.gov/presidential-monuments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">other presidential monuments</a>.</em></p> </p> </div> </div> </section> <p><a href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-american-leaders-known-worldwide/">Presidential monuments: The American leaders known worldwide</a></p></div></div></li><li class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item_wrapper"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_image"><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-the-reagan-library/" title="Presidential monuments: The Reagan library"><img src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/REAGAN-LIBRARY-2-300x200.jpg" alt="Presidential monuments: The Reagan library"></a></div><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-the-reagan-library/" title="Presidential monuments: The Reagan library">Presidential monuments: The Reagan library</a><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_container"><div></div><section class="ga-title stacking-slide container-fluid internaltitle-block"> <div class="internal-title alignwide internalpage container"> <div class="internal-title-wrapper"> <div id="internal-title-header" class="internal-title-header ">Presidential monuments: The Reagan library</div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="ga-content-block stacking-slide white-section-background-color paragraphsection"> <div class="paragraph alignwide container meta-info-top"> </div> <div class="paragraph alignwide container"> <div class="row"> <p><figure id="attachment_80764" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80764" style="width: 301px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-80764" title="Portrait of Ronald Reagan (© Joseph Sohm/Shutterstock.com)" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/REAGAN-LIBRARY-2-2-229x300.jpg" alt="Portrait of Ronald Reagan (© Joseph Sohm/Shutterstock.com)" width="301" height="394" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-80764" class="wp-caption-text">Ronald Reagan (© Joseph Sohm/Shutterstock.com)</figcaption></figure> <p><em>“The journey has not just been my own.

He chose Simi Valley, 40 miles (60 kilometers) outside of Los Angeles, because of his connection to Hollywood and his love for California.</p> <p>During his presidency, from 1981 to 1989, Reagan strengthened the U.S. military and revitalized the economy. His leadership was essential to ending the Cold War, and a piece of the Berlin Wall stands on the library grounds.</p> <p> </p> <figure id="attachment_80766" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80766" style="width: 2560px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-80766" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/REAGAN-LIBRARY-2.jpg" title="Outside of Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on sunny day (© Hayk Shalunts/Alamy)" alt="Outside of Ronald Reagan Presidential Library on sunny day (© Hayk Shalunts/Alamy)" width="2560" height="1707" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-80766" class="wp-caption-text">The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California (© Hayk Shalunts/Alamy)</figcaption></figure> <p><em>Read our digital story to learn more about <a title="Monumental" href="https://stories.state.gov/presidential-monuments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">other presidential monuments</a>.</em></p> </p> </div> </div> </section> <p><a href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-the-reagan-library/">Presidential monuments: The Reagan library</a></p></div></div></li><li class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_item_wrapper"><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_image"><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-a-memorial-for-all-to-see/" title="Presidential monuments: A memorial for all to see"><img src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/mckinley-v2-2320400833-300x220.jpg" alt="Presidential monuments: A memorial for all to see"></a></div><a class="shareamerica_uber_rss_title" target="_blank" href="https://share.america.gov/presidential-monuments-a-memorial-for-all-to-see/" title="Presidential monuments: A memorial for all to see">Presidential monuments: A memorial for all to see</a><div class="shareamerica_uber_rss_container"><div></div><section class="ga-title stacking-slide container-fluid internaltitle-block"> <div class="internal-title alignwide internalpage container"> <div class="internal-title-wrapper"> <div id="internal-title-header" class="internal-title-header ">Presidential monuments: A memorial for all to see</div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="ga-content-block stacking-slide white-section-background-color paragraphsection"> <div class="paragraph alignwide container meta-info-top"> </div> <div class="paragraph alignwide container"> <div class="row"> <p><figure id="attachment_80583" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80583" style="width: 263px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" class=" wp-image-80583" title="Portrait of William McKinley (Library of Congress)" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/McKinley--220x300.jpg" alt="Portrait of William McKinley (Library of Congress)" width="263" height="359" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-80583" class="wp-caption-text">William McKinley (Library of Congress)</figcaption></figure> <p>Monuments to American presidents are scattered around the United States. Some are tucked into less traveled corners, while others appear along busy roads.</p> <p>The William McKinley National Memorial stands atop a hill in northeastern Ohio for all of the Canton city residents — and passersby on Interstate 77 — to see. The site honors the 25th president of the United States, who served from 1897 to 1901. Both President McKinley and his wife, Ida McKinley, are buried there. (The couple met as youngsters nearby.)</p> <p>While McKinley was born in Niles, Ohio, he spent most of his life, when not in Washington, in Canton. Decades before his presidency, McKinley represented this area of Ohio in Congress. He made a name for himself there by promoting tariffs as a way to strengthen the U.S. economy.</p> <p>The Canton memorial, completed in 1941, boasts a statue of McKinley out front with a rotunda behind it, where the president is entombed. At the top of the dome of the memorial is a stained glass window with 45 stars — one for each state at the time of McKinley’s death.</p> <p>As president, McKinley led the U.S. victory in the Spanish-American War and acquired the territories of Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Guam. He championed the gold standard for America’s currency, a policy that helped strengthen the U.S. dollar.</p> <figure id="attachment_80759" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80759" style="width: 2560px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-80759" title="McKinley National Memorial (© EWY Media/Shutterstock.com)" src="https://share.america.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/155/2025/03/mckinley-v2-2320400833-scaled.jpg" alt="McKinley National Memorial (© EWY Media/Shutterstock.com)" width="2560" height="1874" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-80759" class="wp-caption-text">The McKinley National Memorial is the final resting place of President William McKinley.
