His family would not discuss the amount of money that was taken but said it was a "considerable amount." Overton, who now lives in Austin, Texas, volunteered for service in 1942. He became a member of the Army's 188th Aviation Engineer Battalion, an all-black unit that served on various islands in the Pacific. In 2013, he was honored by then-President Barack Obama during a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Ceremony.

"Reunite the families at the border and we can talk about father's day." The tweet came a day after the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that at least 2,000 children had been separated from parents at the border as part of a new zero-tolerance policy on illegal border crossings. The Trump administration recently decided that every adult caught crossing the border illegally will be charged with federal crimes instead of referring those with children to immigration courts.The harsher punishments for immigrant parents mean their children are separated from them and there's no clear procedure for reunification aside from hotlines the parents can call to try to track down their children. Ryan, the top Republican in the House, said last week that he believes Congress should resolve the issue as part of immigration legislation.We don't want kids to be separated from their parents," he said. Ryan's press secretary, AshLee Strong, declined to comment to CNN Sunday on Legend's tweet. The separations of immigrant families have touched a nerve with Legend and his wife Chrissy Teigen

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The newlyweds have reportedly signed a two-year lease on a home on the Great Tew Estate in the Cotswolds, a source told Us Weekly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The
 couple's official residence is Kensington Palace, but while renovations
 are taking place, they'll spend their weekends at a home called 
WestfieldLarge, which is an hour and a half outside of London, according
 to an insider.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The property is located on the same 4,000-acre plot as David and Victoria Beckham's country home and Soho Farmhouse, where Markle had her spa-themed bridal shower in March. The soirée was organized by the Duchess' friend, Markus Anderson, who's a consultant for Soho House.</div>

The exact specifics on Harry and Meghan's new weekend home remain unknown, but it'll definitely have an idyllic setting. The Great Tew Estate is the kind of location with "spring lambs playing in rolling grassland, oak woods with a carpet of bluebells, chocolate box thatch cottages," according to its website. Sounds like a great romantic substitute while the couple delays their honeymoon.</div>
