@CorpBarnaby During the Battle of Quaker Road he had another brush with death. A bullet went through his horse’s neck, left a bloody furrow down his left forearm, hit him in the chest (where it was deflected by a picture of his wife), and traveled around his ribcage, just beneath the skin.

John Adams was invited to speak at the 50th Fourth of July celebration in Quincy. He was too old, too weak, to appear in person, and in fact would die that day. George Whitney went to his house, determined to leave with some remarks that he could share with the crowd. What did he want to say?

Most Americans DON'T EVEN KNOW this. Japan will scream it forever:
During Operation Tomodachi,
YOUR sailors gave up their OWN hot showers.
Their OWN meals. Their OWN beds.
On THEIR OWN ships.
So that freezing Japanese strangers
could feel warm water and eat hot food.
WHO DOES THAT?!
America does. THAT'S who you are at your best.
And 125 million Japanese saw it with our own eyes.
HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY!!! 🇺🇸🔥 We love you.
