  • Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021
    6809 Federal Register Presidential Documents Vol. 86, No. 13 Friday, January 22, 2021 Title 3— Executive Order 13978 of January 18, 2021 The President Building the National Garden of American Heroes By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows: Section 1. Background. In Executive Order 13934 of July 3, 2020 (Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes), I made it the policy of the United States to establish a statuary park named the National Garden of American Heroes (National Garden). To begin the process of building this new monument to our country’s greatness, I established the Interagency Task Force for Building and Rebuilding Monuments to American Heroes (Task Force) and directed its members to plan for construction of the National Garden. The Task Force has advised me it has completed the first phase of its work and is prepared to move forward. This order revises Executive Order 13934 and provides additional direction for the Task Force. Sec. 2. Purpose. The chronicles of our history show that America is a land of heroes. As I announced during my address at Mount Rushmore, the gates of a beautiful new garden will soon open to the public where the legends of America’s past will be remembered. The National Garden will be built to reflect the awesome splendor of our country’s timeless exceptionalism. It will be a place where citizens, young and old, can renew their vision of greatness and take up the challenge that I gave every American in my first address to Congress, to ‘‘[b]elieve in yourselves, believe in your future, and believe, once more, in America.’’ Across this Nation, belief in the greatness and goodness of America has come under attack in recent months and years by a dangerous anti-American extremism that seeks to dismantle our country’s history, institutions, and very identity.

    1 Annotated Bibliography Primary Sources Aloisio, Paula, and Schlesinger Library. Julia Child Baking a Cake during the Episode of The French Chef That Inspired the Opera. Photograph.

This photo is used on the home page of my website, and is essentially the first thing you see. In my opinion, this photo embodies both what Child believed cooking to be about and her spirit. Child strongly believed in having fun in the kitchen, and lives by her teachings in this picture. While I got this photo from a secondary source, I categorized this as primary as it was taken during the time Child was alive. The photo itself was taken in 1986. Bettman, and Getty Images.

Bending over our seats, he whispered conspira- torially with a Texas drawl as broad as the state itself, “I’m such a huge fan. I have all your cookbooks.” Julia smiled demurely, tilted her head in acknowledgment, and said, “Thank you,” without mentioning the erroneous addition of an s to her name. In the thirteen years that I had been working with her, the faulty pronunciation happened with curious regularity, and some years before,COPYRIGHTED I’d remarked how odd I thought MATERIAL it that so many people put an s at the end of her name. “Not really,” she responded. “Before I was known at all there was a popular New York eatery called Childs. People knew of it and it helped them remember my name.” ᪐ 1 05_787372 ch01.qxp 3/15/07 11:10 AM Page 2 BACKSTAGE WITH JULIA On that March day in 1993, three decades of public fascination with Child, the French Chef, had eclipsed whatever fame Childs the eatery had once enjoyed. That eclipse began the moment in 1963 when, from the display kitchen of the Boston Gas Company, she trilled her first WGBH-TV “Bon appétit.” Cooking enthusiasts became dedicated fans, and even viewers who would never make friends with their stoves tuned in religiously to catch the antics of this Lucille Ball–like character with a rolling pin.

  • Copy of Julia Child; Born in Pasadena, Califo
    Julia Child; born in Pasadena, California as Julia Carolyn McWilliams August 15, 1912. Julia Child spent her early years in California where she grew up and attended school. Julia Child's first position out of college was with W. & J. Sloane as a copywriter in New York City. A few year in 1937 after her debut on Madison Avenue, Child's moved back to California, where she continued to write and work in advertising. Julia Child met her husband Paul Child, while serving with the OSS (Office of Strategic Services the forerunner of today's CIA) in 1944. Paul and Julia were married in 1946 and soon after he joined the US Foreign Service. Paul Child had a taste for fine food, probably due in part to living in Paris prior to meeting Julia. As a employee of the US Foreign Service, Paul was sent to Paris in 1948, where he introduced his new bride to sophisticated French Cuisine. Julia described her first meal in Rouen, France as "a culinary revelation". Paul's work at the embassy would keep him away from Julia most of the day, creating a void and desire to offset her boredom. So, Julia began to enrolled in many different classes. Eventually she enrolled in the famous Le Cordon Bleu cooking school. It was no easy task at first, being in a school of only men at the time, she had to learn to love cooking as much as she loved eating. Julia Child's graduation from Le Cordon Bleu created an opportunity for her to meet the two women that would become co-authors of her first cookbook "Mastering The Art of French Cooking"; Simon Beck and Louisette Bertholle.
