The Meuse-Argonne Offensive is widely regarded as one of America's most notable achievements, and the remarkable accomplishments of Sgt. Alvin York, Maj. Charles Whittlesey of the Lost Battalion, and Lt. Sam Woodfill-all achieved amidst this tumult-continue to resonate throughout history.

Came for football
Documented my journey
People followed my journey
The American people wanted me to stay
Met the President
Ended up on TV
Now road tripping across America.

What a journey so far and it’s only just getting started!

@M_p298 Yea. Young Washington. Comes out next week

[Doug Mastriano @dougmastriano]

During the Battle of Monongahela in 1755, 23-year-old George Washington rode across the battlefield delivering orders as British forces collapsed under heavy French and Indian fire.
When the fighting ended, he discovered four bullet holes in his coat and two horses had been shot

The final draft of Declaration of Independence was submitted to the Continental Congress by Thomas Jefferson today in 1776!

British World Cup fan Oliver Henry says he came to America expecting the worst — but after meeting President Trump, he says he owes the U.S. an apology and is now road-tripping across the country in a pickup truck, listening to country music.

For 250 years, the American flag has flown as an enduring banner of courage, sacrifice, and freedom.

Today, we’re proud to put Old Glory on full display at the State Department in Washington as we celebrate 250 years of America. 🇺🇸

out from under him—yet he had not been wounded. Many who witnessed the battle believed his survival was nothing short of providential. Years later, a Native American leader reportedly told Washington that his warriors had fired directly at him but could not bring him down, concluding that he was being protected for a greater purpose.
Washington himself believed that God's hand had preserved his life, a conviction that shaped his sense of duty and leadership throughout the American Revolution.
"It is impossible that I should have escaped without the protection of Providence." — George Washington (paraphrasing the belief he expressed after the battle)

Christianity is the reason women are treated as equally valuable in our society instead of subjugated.

Christianity is the reason that slavery was ended in our society.

Christianity is the reason we allow other religions to exist in our society.

Christianity is the reason we have laws that declare the accused as innocent until proven guilty.

Christianity is the reason we care for the elderly, handicapped, and poor instead of disposing of them.

Christianity is the reason we sacrifice for the good of future generations.

So yah, teaching the Bible in public schools is probably a good idea.

Few people leave a legacy that spans more than a century, but at 105 years young, Sam Worley has done exactly that. A proud veteran of the Eighth Air Force during World War II, Sam answered our nation's call with courage before returning home to dedicate the rest of his remarkable life to serving the Chambersburg community he loves. His humility, kindness, and unwavering commitment to others have made him one of the most beloved citizens in our region.

It was my privilege to spend time with Sam recently. In true interservice fashion, we shared a few good-natured laughs as he teased me about serving in the Army while he proudly represented the Air Force. By the end of our conversation, I presented him with my 3rd Infantry Division hat and told him that, just as the legendary Audie Murphy was a member of the division, Sam was now an honorary Soldier of the 3rd Infantry Division. It was a small gesture of respect for a man whose lifetime of service has earned the admiration of everyone who knows him.

It is only fitting that the Franklin County Conservancy selected Sam as the recipient of its first-ever Citizen of the Year Award, recognizing a lifetime devoted to serving others and strengthening our community.

On behalf of the people of Pennsylvania's 33rd Senatorial District, I offer my heartfelt congratulations to Sam Worley—a member of the Greatest Generation, an American patriot, and one of the finest citizens our Commonwealth has ever known. His life stands as a powerful reminder that true greatness is measured not only by how we serve our country, but by how faithfully we serve our neighbors every day thereafter.

Today, the U.S. Army released implementation guidance for the Army Chaplains Corps uniform and maternity tunic emphasizing their role as religious leaders and pastoral care providers across the force.

THIS IS SO BADASS.

THIS IS SO AMERICA.

FREEDOM 250 🇺🇸

[Oliver Henry @oliverhenry]

I now understand the American dream.

I came to the World Cup because I was offered a last minute ticket to watch England play Croatia in Dallas and I started documenting my journey.

The content went viral on social media. So much so, the President of the United States saw it himself.

I was invited to attend the grand opening of the great American state fair for freedom 250 and halfway through Donald Trumps speech, I was told to come and wait back stage for a photograph.

This sort of thing could only happen in America.
As an Englishman I never really understood what America has to make it “the land of opportunity”

But results speak for themselves.

Imagine how much propaganda it took to convince women that this is oppressive.

THROWBACK THURSDAY: Learning Joint Warfare

One of the most valuable professional military education experiences of my career was attending the Joint Forces Staff College (JFSC) in Norfolk, Virginia. There, officers from every branch of the U.S. military, as well as allied nations, came together to learn how modern warfare is planned and executed as a truly joint effort. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and coalition partners all brought different perspectives, experiences, and capabilities to the classroom.

Winning wars is about integrating land, sea, air, space, and information capabilities into a unified effort.

As part of the program, we conducted hands-on visits with the Navy, including tours of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) and the fast-attack submarine USS Albany (SSN-753). Walking the decks of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, standing on the bridge, and seeing firsthand how sailors operate these incredible warships provided a deeper appreciation for the Navy's role in projecting American power around the globe.

The submarine tour was equally impressive. The professionalism, technical expertise, and discipline required to operate beneath the oceans for extended periods reinforced just how extraordinary our sailors are.

Looking back, the Joint Forces Staff College helped prepare me for later assignments working alongside our sister services, NATO allies, and coalition partners around the world.

Different uniforms. Different traditions. One mission. Army • Navy • Air Force • Marines • Coast Guard • Allies
