WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump presented the highest civilian honor he can bestow to retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane on Tuesday.Keane served as the chief operating officer of the Army for more than four years and directed 1.5 million soldiers and civilians in 120 countries. He was in the Pentagon when terrorists crashed a jetliner into the building on Sept. 11, 2001, and he provided oversight and support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. He now serves as a national security analyst for Fox News. Press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in announcing the next Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient that Keane “has devoted his life to keeping America safe and strong.” Watch the ceremony below: 727

Weeks shy of his 95th birthday, former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday he doesn't believe he could have managed the most powerful office in the world at 80 years old.Carter, who earlier this year became the longest-lived chief executive in American history, didn't tie his comments to any of his fellow Democrats running for president, but two leading 2020 candidates, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders, would turn 80 during their terms if elected.Biden is 76. Sanders is 78."I hope there's an age limit," Carter said with a laugh as he answered audience questions during his annual report at the Carter Center in Atlanta. "If I were just 80 years old, if I was 15 years younger, I don't believe I could undertake the duties I experienced when I was president."Carter's observation came in response to a jovial inquiry about whether he had considered running in 2020 since he's still constitutionally allowed another term. The 39th president left office in 1981 at the age of 56 after losing his reelection bid to Ronald Reagan, who served two terms and left office as the oldest sitting president in history, at 77.Carter, who turns 95 on Oct. 1, said the Oval Office requires a president "to be very flexible with your mind," particularly on foreign affairs.Carter also commented on the Israeli election, lamenting that returning hard-line Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to power could "end the peace process" altogether. Exit polls show that Netanyahu's party fell short of securing a parliamentary majority, potentially threatening his position. 1563

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Amid the bright orchids of the U.S. Botanic Garden sits a 200-year history of protecting America’s most fragile plants.“We're a living repository for rare and endangered plants,” said Saharah Moon Chapotin, director of the garden.The U.S. Botanic Garden is the oldest one in the country, an idea envisioned by George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. It’s about to celebrate its 200th year. About 60,000 plants, lying within several acres in the heart of Washington, D.C.Conservation at the garden is always in season.“Many of our plants are rare and endangered and we are providing a home for them,” Chapotin said.Here in the U.S. there are 1,300 species that are considered threatened or endangered. Nearly 20 percent of those are plants adding up to hundreds of flora on the brink.Some already fell off the cliff, like Hawaii’s “Cabbage on a Stick.” Because of overdevelopment, the insect that pollinated it disappeared and in 2014, the plant went extinct in the wild, too.There are others endangered, too, like a cactus from Arizona and bushes which are native to Florida. Endangered plants don’t always get the kind of attention endangered animals do.“Often people do think about animals they have faces and they're sort of cute,” USBG deputy director Susan Pell. “So, we kind of think people generally can sort of sympathize with them a little bit more, than maybe with a plant that they're not familiar with.”At the garden, they emphasize how much plants are tied to the habitat of endangered animals, at risk from invasive species, development and climate change.“They're really interconnected and so I think plants are a fundamental part of conserving environment and conserving habitats,” Chapotin said. “And if you just focus on conserving the animals you're leaving out a huge part of the equation in terms of the plants.”That all adds up to a continuing mission of saving plants there in the hopes of one day taking those that are now extinct outside the walls and reintroducing them back to Mother Nature. 2049

WASHINGTON, D.C. — At the official National Columbus Day Celebration in Washington, D.C. on Monday, the pomp and circumstance was in full swing.This year, though, the city itself wasn’t part of the party. A few days before, the D.C. city council voted to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day. The city joined more than 100 cities and a half-dozen states around the country that have chosen to honor Native Americans instead of the Italian explorer whose arrival brought conflict with indigenous people.“Columbus has a complicated history, but there is not one figure in history that does not have a complex history,” said Anita Bevacqua McBride, vice chairwoman of cultural affairs for the National Italian American Foundation.She said they don’t want to see Columbus Day disappear. Rather, they argue, there’s enough room on the calendar for both days.“I think in an era of inclusion and greater understanding of the diversity of our history, I think that’s fair,” Bevacqua McBride said. “But it doesn’t in our mind, give license, to erase what he did in terms of exploration of the new world.”Two miles away, at the National Congress of American Indians, Kevin Allis is happy to point out some of the mementos in his office.“I’m very proud of this vest. This is my grandfather’s vest and my great-grandmother made it for him,” he said, pointing to a 100-year-old vest with intricate beading, hanging framed in his office. “That’s a very sentimental piece to my family and I.”Allis said the change from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples' Day has been a long time coming.“We’re not trying to rewrite history,” Allis said. “We’re just trying to make people take the time to look at what real history is and understand we play an important role in that.”Competing roles in history that are still being debated over a holiday in the present. 1866

Welcoming a new born baby during the holidays is a joyful time. But for families whose babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit, they are spending their time in the hospital. But one woman has created a unique way to bring comfort to those families in a time of need.Bob Fries and his wife had twins that came 3 months early. "We expected my wife to still be pregnant throughout the holidays," Bob says.The NICU has become their new home away from home."There are no words for the experience," Bob says. "You pretty much put your life on hold."One mother who knows this experience all too well is Elizabeth Tolin. She says you have a picture perfect idea of what having a baby is like, but it’s not always that way.Five years ago, Tolin's son Toby was born early and placed in the NICU. "Suddenly that idea is stripped away and it’s a terrifying experience you don't know how to navigate," Tolin says.She wanted other NICU parents know they are not alone so she created 988
