As our readers know, we've done a lot of work with the White House as well as at the White House, including much with the Stop the Bleed campaign. We also share many proclamations coming out of the most-recognizable-in-the-world edifice.

Did you know that on this date in 1994 the official website of the White House, WhiteHouse.gov, was launched? The website is owned by the United States government and contains general American History information and news about the President. There is also a blog, photos and videos, and press briefings. The goal is to create meaningful ways for Americans to engage and connect with the White House.

On this day, October 6th, 1979 Pope John Paul II became the first Pope in history to visit the White House. He was welcomed by President Jimmy Carter and First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Pope John Paul said, "It gives me great joy to be the first Pope in history to come to the capitol of this nation." During his pilgrimage to the United States, he traveled to six American cities preaching freedom and human dignity to millions of Americans.
