Silence in the face of evil is evil itself; God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act. -- D. Bonhoeffer AlignmentPartners
Wow! President Trump brought up Iwo Jima survivor Marine Cpl. Don Graves to salute the flag heroically raised by U.S. Marines over Iwo Jima.
Every time I see 101-year-old Cpl. Graves, he fires me up. We stand on the shoulders of giants!

250 years of blood, sweat, freedom, and fighting. America ainโt perfect, never has been. But God I still love this country. And thereโs nowhere on this earth Iโd rather be.
On this 4th of July, on the 250th birthday of the greatest experiment in human liberty, Iโm not running. Iโm staying right here. Flaws and all. And Iโm building to make it a better place. Happy Independence Day, America. ๐บ๐ธ #explore #fyp
Two hundred and fifty years ago, our nationโs founders took an extraordinary step, declaring that liberty and self-government were the birthright of a free people.ย
ย
One of the most remarkable stories in human history emerged from that moment.ย
ย
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.ย
ย
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.
ย
May we reflect on the remarkable inheritance we share as Americans, and look with hope toward the future.
๐จ#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
