All gave some, but some gave all.

Today, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the defense of freedom. Below, please comment with a photo and/or the name(s) of those you know who gave all for our country. #MemorialDay

As the U.S. prepares to celebrate 250 years, we honor Amerigo Vespucci, the Italian explorer born this day in 1454 whose insight helped change history. He recognized the lands across the Atlantic were a new continent, later named “America” in his honor. Buon compleanno, Amerigo!

Did you know San Valentino was Italian? Born in Terni and later living in Rome, he secretly married Christian couples and was martyred on Feb. 14, 269. Today, Italians celebrate with romantic dinners, thoughtful gifts, flowers, and of course, chocolate. 💘
