Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
🚨BREAKING: HUGE crowds of Christians flooded a Brazilian beach at 5am (sunrise) to worship Jesus and boldly declare: “Brazil is a Christian country.”
Christianity is on the rise globally.
Lou Holtz’s players walked behind the hearse today — one last act of loyalty for the man who taught them how to believe.
A coach, a mentor, a father‑figure… carried home by the very men he helped shape.
Notre Dame is forever. It’s a place where legacy doesn’t fade — it settles into the bricks, the bells, the echoes.
And now Lou Holtz is part of that forever.
Resting on sacred ground.
Living on in every standard, every expectation, every Saturday when the bells ring over campus.
