LANCASTER − A U.S. Navy veteran James Hanley has collected a lifetime of memories. But the surprise that awaited him during his September Honor Flight to Washington, D.C., brought him to tears. That's because his family in Virginia surprised him with a visit when he arrived in Washington. "It was wonderful," Hanley, 89, said. I'll never forget it. It was a tearjerker. My family met me. They came up from Virginia and met me at the Iwo Jima (monument). It was a surprise because I didn't know they were doing that. Oh my gosh. I teared up." Hanley and his fellow veterans got see a lot of the sites in Washington, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Arlington National Cemetery, the U.S. Naval memorial, the World War II memorial, the Korean War memorial, the Vietnam Wall and much more. Hanley served from 1955 to 1990. He joined upon his high school graduation in Youngstown. "I wanted to make something out of myself," Hanley said.

Kickoff time announced for USC's November 21 matchup with Maryland

This week, the USC football team will travel on the road for a massive clash with Indiana . Next week, however, the Trojans will be back at the Coliseum for their final home game of the regular season against Maryland . On Monday, the Big Ten announced the kickoff time for the matchup. USC-Maryland will kick off at 3:15 p.m. Pacific time and air on Big Ten Network. Every team in the league is required to play at least one conference game on Big Ten Network. Given that USC had not yet fulfilled that requirement yet and the Trojans ' other November contests are all against top ten opponents, the Maryland game being on BTN had felt inevitable for several weeks now. The question was merely what time the game would kick off—a question that has now been answered. The matchup with Maryland will also mark the final home game for USC's 2026 senior class, including quarterback Jayden Maiava. As is tradition, the Trojans will honor their seniors with a pregame ceremony.
