Today:
Welcome to this week's instalment of /r/AskHistorians' Sunday Digest (formerly the Day of Reflection). Nobody can read all the questions and answers that are posted here, so in this thread we invite you to share anything you'd like to highlight from the last week - an interesting discussion, an informative answer, an insightful question that was overlooked, or anything else.
Y'all gave me some super fun questions to answer to celebrate my two-year anniversary writing on AH!
I even got to link to what is probably my all-time favorite answer:
Thank you so much for helping keep history and history-writing fun for me!

/u/quickspore on "What was no-mans-land like between the Union capital in Washington, SC and the Confederate capital of Richmond, VA?"
/u/WARitter answered a question on "Was pre-modern armor recycled/re-purposed/reforged/repaired after it becomes broken?"
