Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A memorial to the 255 British sailors, soldiers, and airmen killed during the Falklands War was unveiled yesterday.
The dedication at the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas, Staffordshire, was attended by 600 service personnel and their families.
It ended with a flypast by a Vulcan bomber and three military helicopters to commemorate those who fell during the South Atlantic campaign in 1982. Among those helping to unveil the memorial was Sara Jones, widow of Lt-Col Herbert "H" Jones, who won a posthumous Victoria Cross for his bravery at the Battle of Goose Green.
She was joined by Kathryn Nutbeem, whose father, Maj Roger Nutbeem, was among 48 men who died when the Royal Fleet Auxiliary troop ship Sir Galahad was bombed at Fitzroy Cove by Argentine fighter-bombers.
