Nearly six years ago, Eric Reed almost called it quits from the horse training business.
A fire engulfed one of the barns at his Lexington, Kentucky, equine center, in the middle of a December night, killing 23 thoroughbred horses and causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
"When we drove up on that that night, I told my wife, I said, 'we've probably lost everything,' " Reed recounted this week. "The next morning, when we saw the devastation ... I just thought of all the years and all the stuff we had done to get this beautiful farm and to have this happen, that something might be telling me it's the end of the line."
President Joe Biden warned against a streak of “semi-isolationism” in the US as he stressed the importance of alliances during a symbolic visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery on Sunday, honoring the thousands of Americans who died in World War I at a site former President Donald Trump skipped during a 2018 visit to Paris.
