Two literal “Place Holder” links shipped live in the war.gov homepage footer
Two `<a href="#">Place Holder</a>` links sit in the rendered war.gov homepage footer. Devs forgot to fill in two nav slots and the placeholder text shipped to production.
Visible in every page load of the most-visited Department of War page. Easiest possible verification: view source on war.gov, search “Place Holder”.

Evidence
Direct from the homepage source:
html
<a href="#">Place Holder</a>
<a href="#">Place Holder</a>
Two instances — almost certainly the mobile-display and desktop-display variants of the same nav slot. Both render as clickable text in the footer area that does nothing when clicked (href="#" scrolls to the top of the page).
The same homepage source ships with 13 surviving "DOD" references (the agency renamed to "Department of War" but the markup wasn't fully purged) and 14 instances of the noopeneer typo — this fits a pattern of partial cleanup.
