Sunday Overnight Open Thread - June 15, 2025 [Doof]

Howdy Hordelings! Happy Father's Day to the dads out there. Did you get a call or visit today? If your dad is still among us, did you call him or visit him today? Those of us whose dads are no longer here, let's raise a glass to their memory. If you never had a good relationship with your dad, I hope you were able to celebrate and honor someone who is like a father to you.

Tonight's ONT features a lot of stuff to celebrate dads. Also some usual Sunday night stuff. And as always, it's an open thread. So step on in and join the conversation!

Dog Tag of Fallen WW II Soldier is Returned to Family 80 Years After His Death

The dog tag ID belonging to a fallen World War II soldier has been returned to his family 80 years after his death.

Joseph L. Gray was one of 31 servicemen who died in April 1945 when their plane, a B-17 Flying Fortress, crashed into a hill on the Isle of Man.

In 2010, around 65 years later, the Philadelphia soldier’s dog tags were unearthed by a metal detector and handed over to the Manx Aviation and Military Museum on the UK island.

It wasn’t until the great nephew of another soldier who died in the crash—Donald Madar, a friend of the museum—saw the tag this year and said he knew a relative of Gray’s through a Facebook group he runs.

Eight decades on, he returned the “prized possession”, taking it back where he said it belongs—to the technical sergeant’s great niece Bridgette Daily.

“It was a wonderful moment handing the tag over,” Donald told SWNS news agency.

Nice story. Read the whole thing.

It's that time of the week - when we turn the ONT over to our good friend Piper for a bit. Here's this week's fashion pr0n.

Melania was a stunner this week, and so was Usha!

Melania turned heads at the opening night of Les Mis at the Kennedy Center in a Bottega Veneta matte crepe viscose jersey maxi dress. The dress featured an asymmetrical neckline, statement gold accents, and draped beautifully. This is what understated elegance means!

Melania paired the dress with Christian Louboutin Napa Patent Veau Mirror Eklectica 120s. Unfortunately, these are sold out at the moment.

At the same event, Usha looked beautiful in a black crepe asymmetrical Eva gown by Shoshanna.

At the Whitehouse picnic this week, Melania looked chic in a summery ensemble with vibrant florals. The First Lady paired a white blouse with Dolce & Gabbana peony print cotton jacquard pants. She wore Manolo Blahnik BB 115 Orchid pink suede pumps that completed the look perfectly, and our President wore a matching tie. Could that be any cuter?

Standing beside President Donald Trump during the 250th anniversary of the Army, Melania’s outfit was master class in aligning with the patriotic theme of the parade. It was a fantastic blend of elegance with a military inspired edge. Melania wore a custom Adam Lippes white with blue pinstripe suit. It featured a structured blazer with shoulder pads done right and pencil skirt.

In a world that feels chaotic, I appreciate being able to bring you a moment of frivolity. Back to Doof!
