America's 250th isn't just history to me. It's part of my family's story.
My family was here from the very beginning. They knew that winning independence wasn't the end of the fight. Building and defending this Republic would be the responsibility of every generation that followed. Two hundred and fifty years later, it's our turn.
I've spent my career studying and fighting those who would do this country harm. The greatest lesson that work has taught me is that freedom survives only when ordinary Americans choose to defend it. Every generation inherits that responsibility. This one is ours.
Some answer that call in uniform. Some in intelligence, law enforcement, emergency response, or public service. Others answer it by being informed, engaged citizens who build resilient communities, strengthen those around them, and refuse to look away from the threats we face.
As we celebrate America's 250th Independence Day, I'm grateful for the sacrifices of those who came before us. They entrusted us with a remarkable Republic. What we leave to the next generation depends on what we choose to protect today.
Happy Fourth of July.
God bless America. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@ARL__1987@TaylorLewan77@NESpower It’s my understanding that they are getting neighborhoods up first then going back to address individual houses. I’m in a group of six who need a new transformer despite my whole neighborhood regaining power two days ago.
@SumnerSevereWx I had to retreat up to my sister’s in Gallatin for power. Mine still isn’t on back home :(. We appreciate all you guys do to keep us informed.
@jakrueger235@NashSevereWx I’ve been driving a from Gallatin to White House to Nashville today. Main roads are great. Neighborhoods are sketchy. Go slow and you should be fine.
