I'm going to read the FIRST prayer delivered to the Continental Congress and it's going to blow your mind.
Why have they fought so hard to erase this part of our history. I'm glad you asked 👇
British forces launch a full assault on Fort Sullivan, South Carolina.
The position does not fall as quickly as they would have pleased; British cannon fire bounces off the Patriot Fort, which is constructed of palmetto logs.
The British bullets cut down the militia flag, and young Patriot Sergeant William Jasper races to the pole and raises it under withering fire.
Meanwhile, American fire does substantial damage to Royal Navy ships.
Although 2,200 British troops and nine ships attacked a fort with only 400 militia inside, just 12 Patriots are killed for the loss of 91 British and severe damage to their ships.
They do not take the Fort and they are compelled to retreat.
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. 🇺🇸

He received ninety stitches throughout his body, but saved his three-year-old sister from certain death.
"If someone was going to die, it must be me, I'm the older brother."
The World Boxing Council (WBC) recognized him as a World Heavyweight Champion for a day!
It will remain in the official historical record of the WBC.
For that one day, he was the best fighter in the world."
I have immense respect for the Guardians of our fallen heroes that stand guard at Arlington Cemetery!
May our heroes rest in eternal peace! 🫡🕊️🇺🇸 God bless! 🙏
When God wanted to make David a king, He didn't give him a crown, He gave him a Goliath.
A lot of times when you feel like God's "breaking" you, He's actually BUILDING you for a specific purpose.
I just know there is someone who desperately needs to hear this today.
A Memorial Day storefront in Breckenridge, Texas, 1923. I love the simplicity of it's message: "Lest we Forget." Indeed. They were, of course, fewer than five years removed from WW I, in which more than 5,000 Texans died, so it was a very earnest, heartfelt sentiment. Taken by the great Basil Clemons and courtesy the even greater folks at UTA Special Collections , who have archived Basil's remarkable photos.
Joe Montana wasn’t supposed to make it.
In 1975, he was last on the depth chart at Notre Dame - even behind two walk-ons.
• 7th string as a freshman.
• Struggled to see the field.
• Missed 1976 with a separated shoulder.
• Started 1977 as 3rd string.
• Led 3 legendary comeback wins in 1977.
• Finished with a national championship in 1977.
Montana said, “So much credence was put on how you practice. And how you practice is how you play.”
He studied relentlessly, learned every protection, and stayed ready for his moment.
When it came - he delivered.
“Don’t complain about not getting a chance and then be unprepared when you finally do.” – Joe Montana
