90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

Today in History
April 30, 1789
The Inauguration of George Washington

On this historic day in New York City, George Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States.

Here is how the day unfolded.

At noon, Washington appeared on the balcony of Federal Hall (the newly remodeled former City Hall at the corner of Wall and Broad Streets).

He was dressed in a dark brown suit made of cloth manufactured in America, with white silk stockings and shoes adorned with silver buckles, he placed his hand on a large Bible and took the oath of office administered by Chancellor Robert R. Livingston (one of the “Committee of five” who authored the Declaration of Independence.).

Washington repeated the words prescribed by the Constitution:

“I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

He then added, “So help me God,” and kissed the Bible.

A cheer erupted from the massive crowd gathered below in the streets, and a 13-gun salute thundered from the harbor.

After the ceremony, President Washington, Vice President John Adams, members of Congress, and other dignitaries walked in procession a short distance north to St. Paul’s Chapel (located at 209 Broadway, between Fulton and Vesey Streets in Lower Manhattan).

There, they attended a special service of thanksgiving and prayer led by Reverend Samuel Provoost, the newly appointed Episcopal Bishop of New York.

The chapel (which is still standing today as part of Trinity Church Wall Street) was chosen because it was one of the few large churches in the city at the time.

The day marked the official beginning of the new federal government under the Constitution. New York City served as the nation’s temporary capital, and the event was celebrated with parades, fireworks, and public rejoicing throughout the young republic.

This occasion set important precedents for future presidential inaugurations and symbolized the peaceful transfer of power in the world’s first modern republic.

Chuck Norris didn't join the Marine Corps...the Marine Corps applied to him.

Heaven’s streets have always been guarded by Marines. Today, Chuck Norris reported for duty.

We mourn the passing of Chuck Norris, a @usairforce veteran, who also became an honorary Marine in 2007 when awarded the title by then Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. James T. Conway.

Chuck Norris is one of just over 100 individuals to be awarded the title of Honorary Marine in the entire 250-year history of the Corps.

Some missions may require a battalion, but this one just requires an Honorary Marine.

President Trump: “You want to have voter ID. You must insist on it. California they don’t have voter ID. If an official asks someone for voter ID, they get thrown in jail.”

@jimfarley98. Now that the CAFE standards have been rolled back, can we please get a software update to bypass the auto shutoff button?? Would be nice not to have to press it every time I get in my Raptor!

Not exactly what you asked for, but Tesla Service will be what keeps me from coming back for a new Tesla. I’m on my third attempt to receive the light bar for my Foundation Series Cyberbeast. Additionally, I’m coming from out of town and I am never high enough on priority to get a loaner car. Pretty disappointing.

[H. Jackson Wallace @hjwallace67]

@TRHLofficial Ttown is a great place! RTR!

[H. Jackson Wallace @hjwallace67]

The @Tesla service is an absolute disgrace. I’ve tried twice to get the light bar installed on my Foundation Series CT (that was due over a year ago) and neither time did they have the equipment needed to do the job. I even asked in advance and was assured they had the required materials. May be time to give up on the brand. @elonmusk

@DMC_Ryan We’ve lost civility. It seems to get worse every year. I felt so bad for him when I saw the video.

I was asked how do illegal immigrants affect politics at the federal level? It was a good question.

Here’s how:

Dog Green Sector, Omaha Beach, the deadliest place on D Day. 102 from 180 men in A Company 116th died here. @WWIIMemorial

On June 6, 1944, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, changing the course of history. Their courage serves as a reminder of the price of freedom. Let us never forget their heroism and sacrifice.

Start/stop technology: where your car dies at every red light so companies get a climate participation trophy. EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.

@DMC_Ryan @SawyerMerritt This sucks. I really needed it for towing. Disappointed it won’t be offered.

@jimfarley98 @Ford We got ours two weeks ago. Quite possibly the best Ford product I've ever owned (and I've owned many). Great work Ford team!

[H. Jackson Wallace @hjwallace67]

If you're feeling down today, this ought to fix it.
