I lost my beautiful sister yesterday. I know she’s with her Lord, but half my soul is gone.

They left home as boys 8 decades ago to go out and save the world. Last night they sat at the WWII Memorial together and celebrated their country's 250th. Still heroic.

@mattvanswol Nothing will happen to them because prosecutors and judges can’t begin to imagine the courage it takes to be on the front line.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, our nation’s founders took an extraordinary step, declaring that liberty and self-government were the birthright of a free people. 

One of the most remarkable stories in human history emerged from that moment. 

For generations, we have carried forward the enduring belief that every person possesses inherent dignity and that freedom is the ingredient needed to unlock human potential. Across our nation, countless men and women have risen from humble beginnings to lives of extraordinary achievement. Our citizens, from every walk of life, have inspired innovation, enterprise, discovery, service, and sacrifice on a scale few could have imagined. 

As we celebrate our 250th anniversary, we honor those who built, defended, and strengthened this nation across the generations. The principles that animated our founding remain as vital today as they were in 1776.

May we reflect on the remarkable inheritance we share as Americans, and look with hope toward the future.

“This is my son, Sgt Rick Villani, United States Marine.

He made the ultimate sacrifice for this country in 2011. 🕊️Although it seems like yesterday. Thank you for remembering our heroes and the sacrifices made to take care of each one of us. Please take care of each other and show gratitude everywhere possible.

From this mother’s heart.”

@IronDuk05186191 None taken…but, I (literally) pray that your collective British countries will grow a set and take the United Kingdom back.

Yes, I’m a Black man, and I love America.

Happy 250th Anniversary to the greatest country in the world.

I don’t care who gets mad about it. I don’t care who tells me I’m supposed to hate this country because of my skin color. I don’t care who thinks patriotism has a race.

You will never get me to hate America.

This country gave a foster kid like me a chance. I came from nothing, but because I was born in America, I was able to dream bigger, work harder, fight through every obstacle, build a life, and become the man I am today.

America is not perfect, but I thank God I was born here.

I love the flag. I love the freedom. I love the opportunity. I love the American Dream.

And I’m not ashamed to say it.

So while some people spend today complaining, attacking this country, and trying to shame others for loving it — I’ll be celebrating it.

Happy 250th Anniversary, America.

You can never get me to hate you. 🇺🇸

@mikeroweworks Thank you what all you’ve done and continue to do!!!

Today we are celebrating America’s 250th anniversary ❤️🇺🇸

As a teen, Elon was determined to move to America. He did, and Kimbal, Tosca and I followed. Despite my American background, it took me 12 years to become an American citizen.

My father, Joshua Norman Haldeman was born in Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, in 1902.

My grandfather, John Elon Haldeman, was born in Richmond, Illinois, in 1871.

My great grandfather, Jeremiah Haldeman was born in Wharton Furnace, Pennsylvania, in 1846.

My great-great-grandfather, Elon Powers was born in Syracuse, New York, in 1803.

My family is so proud to be Americans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy 4th of July!!! Yeah, I know. Don’t dock me for no hat. We were technically on the flight line. (I looked for any excuse not to wear one, anyway.)

[Gary Sinise @GarySinise]

Today I am in Washington DC for the celebration tonight at the US Capitol televised on PBS and tomorrow on CBS for America 250. I have the privilege of narrating content for both events. 
At the moment, I am sitting in my hotel room looking out the window watching our amazing fighter pilots rehearsing their flyover for tomorrow’s 4th of July celebration. I have been on military bases all over the world and seen these jets many times before but experiencing them practicing in the skies over our nation's capital in preparation for our 250th birthday is something quite unique, and special. 

We live in a great country. It’s been wonderful to see how folks from around the world who have traveled here for the World Cup are enjoying so many of the things that we are so used to here. We have so much to be thankful for, not the least of which are the men and women who defend our country and protect our cities. Those whose service and sacrifice must not be taken for granted. Where would we all be if no one wanted to serve? 

Over the course of our 250-year history, many sacrifices have been made. Thousands and thousands of our fellow Americans are buried in 26 military cemeteries in foreign lands with many more here at home. Each day at the Gary Sinise Foundation we work diligently to serve and honor these sacrifices by supporting those on active duty, those who have served, and the families that serve with them and have sacrificed alongside them. 

I have met many over the years and they inspire me each day with their triumphant spirits. America is an evolving idea created by those who chose to fight for independence and freedom against a tyranny. We have inherited that idea, and while there certainly have been many extremely challenging moments in our history, there have been many triumphant ones to celebrate.

In this new video of a song called Triumphant, written by my son Mac Sinise and his pal Oliver Schnee, we include a few triumphant shining moments in celebration of America’s 250th Birthday.
