The traditional fireworks celebration on the 4th of July began in Philadelphia on July 4, 1777, during the first organized celebration of Independence Day. Ships in the harbor fired their cannons in a 13-gun salute in honor of the 13 colonies. Today the Liberty Bell is tapped (not actually rung) 13 times in honor of the original American colonies.

September 11, 2024 The border crisis has been moved, by the Biden/Harris Administration, across America to your state where your state tax dollars will have to deal with all the medical, hospital, educational, housing, crime and other costs for the millions of illegals. An army of terrorist “gotaways” are now in America. An estimated 100,000 gotaways a month, 1,200,000 a year. Are they criminals, sex predators, mentally ill, human traffickers, gang members, drug cartel members, terrorists or sleeper cells? An army of terrorists now in America will make the 911 World Trade Center look like a warm-up and no one is paying attention! Only 19 terrorists to take out the World Trade Center and we have over one million, per year, “gotaways” that crossed the border. Just think what 190,000 terrorists will be able to do. The border and America are not secure. Our cities are not safe. America is not safe.
Today, we remember the immense sacrifices made on September 11th, a day that forever changed our nation. We honor the bravery of the first responders, the strength of the survivors, and the memory of those who perished. On this Patriot Day, let us stand together in unity, as we always have, to remember and to proclaim: Never Forget.

20 Dec 06:50: The Times: (Online article; may include a paywall for some, sorry): US 🇺🇸🇮🇷👺🤮 draws up plans to strike Houthi rebels after Red Sea attacks: Britain joins US-led task force as militants threaten global oil crisis and demand full ceasefire in Gaza: Richard Spencer, Tel Aviv | David Charter, Washington Tues Dec 19 2023, 11.50pm, The Times: The United States is drawing up plans to strike back at the Houthis in Yemen after the Iran-backed group launched a series of attacks on naval and commercial ships in the Red Sea. Pentagon officials have outlined options for a missile attack on Houthi positions after an increase in raids on shipping that has led western nations to scramble warships to the area. The US has moved the Dwight D Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group from the Persian Gulf into the Gulf of Aden, off the coast of Yemen, as part of an international maritime task force to support a potential counterstrike, an official told Politico. The US military has also provided options to commanders to bomb Houthi positions, the official added. A British destroyer, HMS Diamond, has arrived in the region to help protect commercial shipping and shot down a Houthi drone at the weekend:

As a former Army medic, reflecting on September 11, 2001, brings back vivid memories of how deeply it shaped not only the military but also the nation as a whole. The attacks marked a turning point, sparking the War on Terror, leading to deployments that forever altered the trajectory of so many lives—military personnel, first responders, and civilians alike. For medics, the aftermath saw a heightened emphasis on combat readiness and trauma care, as we found ourselves deploying to areas where our skills were critical in saving lives under fire. The immediate response to 9/11 was a surge of patriotism and a sense of duty. Many, including myself, were motivated by the need to serve and protect. The warzones we entered in Iraq and Afghanistan had a distinct intensity, with the constant need to provide medical care in challenging and dangerous environments. It also redefined the scope of care, blending battlefield medicine with innovations in trauma care that have since improved survival rates for soldiers and civilians alike. The impact of 9/11 endures, not just in military strategy or geopolitics, but in the personal stories of those who served. For many of us, it was the catalyst for a career that tested our resilience, taught us the value of life, and left a lasting imprint on our view of sacrifice and service. #NeverForget #September11 #ArmyMedicReflections #ServiceAndSacrifice #CombatMedic #Patriotism #WarOnTerror
As we observe the 23rd anniversary of 9/11, we at the Gary Sinise Foundation remember the lives lost and the heroic actions of first responders and brave civilians. We will continue to honor the memory of those who served and sacrificed, ensuring their legacy lives on. Together, we vow to never forget the courage of those who defended our nation and the impact they left behind.

Very true. In remembrance of the events that unfolded on December 7, 1941, let us take a moment to reflect on the lives lost in the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor. This day serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by brave individuals who faced unforeseen challenges with unwavering courage. As we honor the memory of those who perished, let us also pay tribute to the resilience and strength of the survivors, whose stories continue to inspire us. The Pearl Harbor attack marked a pivotal moment in history, shaping the course of nations and leaving an indelible impact on the lives of countless families. May we never forget the sacrifices of the servicemen and civilians who faced the horrors of that fateful day, and may their legacy serve as a testament to the enduring spirit of human perseverance in the face of adversity. Today, we stand united in remembrance, acknowledging the profound significance of Pearl Harbor and the profound lessons it imparts to us about the importance of peace, unity, and the pursuit of a better world for future generations.
Today marks the 82nd anniversary of the tragic attack on Pearl Harbor, Dec 7, 1941. We will never forget the 2,403 service members & civilians who perished that day or America's Greatest Generation who rose in response. Today, and every day, we remember.

Just a handful of the lies told by israeli genocidal Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his speech at US Congress: ○ israel has taken more precautions to avoid harming civilians than ANY military in history, beyond what international law requires. ○ Hamas burnt babies on 7 October. ○ Hamas killed 1,200 israelis on 7 October. ○ Iran is funding anti-israel protests in the USA. ○ Anti-israel protests call for the genocide of Jews. ○ israel does not deliberately target civilians. ○ Practically no civilians were killed in Rafah. ○ Hamas is stealing all the humanitarian aid that enters Gaza. ○ Jerusalem is the eternal capital of israel.

PEACE... DON'T WE ALL HAVE THE RIGHTS FOR PEACE! How About It? Keep the military style guns in the hands of the military and police to protect and preserve our PEACE... Time to stop making it easy for mad / crazy people to become mass murderers ... If military style guns are eliminated from the market of regular citizens then we all stand a better chance of PEACE and make it more of a challenge for crazy people to injure or kill in mass shootings... Increasing the challenge will greatly increase the opportunity for law enforcement to prevent a mass murder situation... P.E.A.C.E.... Please. Eliminate. Assault. Carrying. Enemies.
