Music began to fill the halls, the patriotic sounds coming from a local marching band from Dutchtown High School.The veterans were then joined with an honor guard, the marching band, drum line, and foundation volunteers for a parade line down to their gate. "As the veterans rolled closer to their gate, French citizens ran up in tears, thanking them for their service," Best Defense Foundation said. And before boarding, many of the veterans spent time at a gate event to say hello to fellow Americans and grateful travelers.RELATED: WWII veterans return to Utah beach to honor D-Day on 79th anniversaryUpon arrival at Normandie-Deauville Airport (DOL), the veterans were greeted by Normandy residents, members of the U.S.

He agreed to take the officers to where he buried the body before standing up and volunteering to be cuffed.Police in Roswell released the 911 recording and nearly an hour of officer body camera video in response to a records request filed by The Associated Press.

Certain soaps could make you more or less attractive to mosquitoes, study finds

FILE - An adult female Anopheles mosquito bites a human body. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto via Getty Images) Why are some people seemingly a mosquito magnet, while others are able to avoid those pesky bites? A new, small study suggests that certain soaps and scents may make one more or less attractive to the insects. However, the effects vary between people – and each person’s unique human scent also plays a role, according to the researchers. The study, conducted by researchers at Virginia Tech and published on May 10 in the journal iScience, included four human volunteers whose chemical odors were studied both when unwashed, and after they had washed themselves with each of four brands of soap: Dial, Dove, Native, and Simple Truth. The team also analyzed the odor profiles of the soaps themselves.Soap-washing was found to impact the mosquitoes’ preferences, but this differed between soap types and the human volunteers.
