While doing research for the @wikipedia article on #CharlesRogers, I learned that in 2023, #JimJustice, then-Governor of #WestVirginia, broke ground on a nursing facility named in Rogers' honor. Justice is now a senator, and recently introduced a bill to create a monument to #MedalOfHonor recipients. I wonder if he knows or cares about the government's erasure of Rogers' web page.
