on this day

Tales of Old Fort Steilacoom (PDF) (historicfortsteilacoom.org) Brevet Captain Delancy Floyd Jones was a bit of a dandy. And like most dandies was somewhat full of himself. He claimed an aristocratic background, was proud of his family’s lineage, and believed that small hands and feet were evidence of that heritage. Floyd Jones had small hands and feet. Also, perhaps his hyphenated last name contributed to his feelings of superiority. Floyd-Jones was a good soldier despite his aloofness. Lieutenant August Kautz describes him as a man of good habits and beyond reproach in his personal conduct, but he had one personal trait that distinguished him from all others at Fort Steilacoom. Floyd-Jones changed his shirt every day.

I am extremely honored to have earned the support of my colleagues to lead the Senate in the 119th Congress, and I am beyond proud of the work we have done to secure our majority and the White House. This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today.
