James Monroe, born #OTD in 1758, served as America’s fifth president and played a key role in shaping early U.S. policy. His leadership helped guide the United States through major changes, including the era when Florida became a U.S. Territory. @GovRonDeSantis and Secretary of State @CordByrd honored his legacy by unveiling a statue of James Monroe in Monroe County.

Florida football legend Steve Spurrier was born #OTD in Miami Beach. Honored as a “Great Floridian” by the Department of State, he won the Heisman Trophy in 1966 while playing for the University of Florida and went on to coach the Gators to six Southeastern Conference championships and a consensus national championship in 1996.

At Minute Man National Historical Park, you can stand on the very ground where the American Revolution began, where men fired the famous “shot heard 'round the world” 251 years ago today.

The park honors the everyday people who lived through extraordinary times defending their ideals of liberty and self-determination. A nation was being born, and they lit the spark.

[Old North @OldNorth1723]

On this night 251 years ago, two men climbed Old North Church's steeple. They held high two lanterns as a signal from Paul Revere that the British were heading to Concord via the Charles River.

Their famous “one if by land, two if by sea” warning ignited the American Revolution.
