[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

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. 🇺🇸

@20th_Centurygal I saw Buddy Guy do an impromptu set in his bar in Chicago in the mid-90s, and he knocked my socks off. He’s gotta be there.

@StevenCurtis “With Hope.” I listened to it every day for weeks after Dad died of cancer. “Be Still and Know” has helped me through some tough times too.

@jimdunaway Kane Womack, one of the most underrated coaches in CFB. I hope we can keep him in Tuscaloosa.

@ByCasagrande Somebody needed to tell DeBoer he’s supposed to put the backup QB in in the second half against UGA.

@PaullyG14 @ClintRLamb Jesus! I had a feeling that everyone had a break before they played us, but I don’t know it was THAT bad.

@CFBNerds Thank you! I said the same thing.
