The Newburgh Conspiracy occurred #OTD, March 15, 1783, over unpaid wages in the Continental Army. George Washington diffused the crisis with a reminder of his own sacrifices for the nation and helped prevent a military challenge to civilian authority.

Today in 1864, #AbrahamLincoln named Ulysses S. Grant the commander of all U.S. troops in the #CivilWar. Victory, though it would not be easy, now lay ahead.

Here are some vintage Grant illustrations to mark the occasion.

I’m running for Governor because leadership is forged under pressure, not in soundbites. I served over 23 years in the United States military, mainly as a Green Beret, where accountability is real, decisions have consequences, and service comes before self. That experience shaped how I lead and why I believe public office is a public trust.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to @POTUS, @VP, and @SecWar for the opportunity to serve as Assistant Secretary of War for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict.

It is an honor to support our service members and contribute to the defense and security of our nation. I am grateful for the trust placed in me and look forward to serving with dedication and integrity.

If you ate today: #ThankAFarmer!

Tonight, I had the honor of attending the 104th Farm Bureau Annual Meeting! After spending time on the campaign trail speaking with producers and farm families across Tennessee’s 7th District, I know how vital farming is to our community, and I know that our farm families are struggling.

As your Congressman, I’m committed to fighting for common sense policies that will keep Tennessee’s farming community — and legacy — strong for years to come.

Today, I officially filed for re-election to continue serving as your Congressman for North Carolina’s Tenth District.

In just 11 months, we’ve delivered:

- The largest tax cut in American history for hardworking families

- No federal tax on tips, because work should be rewarded, not punished

- No federal tax on Social Security, because our seniors deserve better

- Secured our southern border, restoring law and order

- Unleashed American-made energy, lowering costs and increasing independence

But this is only the beginning.

Washington is broken. Too many politicians are serving themselves, not the American people. That’s why I ran in the first place and that’s why I’m running again.

Because working families are tired of being left behind. Because this country needs real leadership. Because North Carolina deserves someone who will never back down from a fight and never forget who sent him to Washington.

Let’s keep putting hardworking Americans first.

This Norman Rockwell painting graced the cover of The Saturday Evening Post in November of 1943. It portrays a more somber scene than is usually represented in the Rockwell art we are accustomed to seeing. Titled “Thanksgiving: Girl Praying,” it is also called “Refugee Thanksgiving.” It depicts a young Italian woman wearing a U.S. Army soldier’s jacket, praying over the field rations he’s shared with her. She kneels, surrounded by the devastation of war, only rags on her feet. It was meant as a reminder back in 1943. It is still a reminder today. We have much to be thankful for. If you look closely at her face you will see something else – hope.

George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1789:

"By the President of the United States…

Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor— and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to ‘recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.’

Therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be.

May we all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks— for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation— for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war— for the great degree of tranquillity, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed— for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted— for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed— to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us— and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best.

Under my hand at the City of New-York, 3rd of October in the year of our Lord 1789."
