 Happy Birthday, America!
 WE THE PEOPLE

America, (the United States of America) will be 238 years old on July 4, 2014.     

Our family will celebrate Independence Day(like most Americans) with a gathering of family and friends for a feast and fireworks.  

The Declaration of Independence, dated July 4, 1776, announced the American colonies succession from Britain, and gave way to American Independence Day.

The Preamble to The US Constitution 

The Preamble to the United States Constitution is a brief introductory statement of the Constitition's fundamental purposes and guiding principles.  It states in general terms, and courts have referred to it as reliable evidence of, the Founding Fathers' intentions regarding the Constitution's meaning and what they hoped the Constitution would achieve.


We the People of the United States
in order to form a more perfect union,
establish justice,
insure domestic tranquility,
provide for the common defence,
promote the general welfare, 
and secure the blessings of liberty
to ourselves and our posterity,
do ordain and establish
this constitution for the 
United States of America.

2014
A Tribute to
 
American Heroes! 
 
 
Sometimes  you meet a person who changes your life. 
 

That's a blessing.



Sometimes -  if you are in the right place at the right time - you have the opportunity to meet a person who changes history
That's destiny.
Today, you just happen to be in the right place at the right time.  
You have the opportunity to meet someone who changed history,  and not just one person - but twelve people whose incredible stories will challenge history as you know it. 
They have been called "The Disciples."  They are the twelve remaining members of a special elite team of the United States Army.  There were twenty-four members in the beginning.
They  came from different farms across the United States.  
They were asked:  "Do you want to be remembered in the history books 20 years from now?  Do you want to serve your country and make your fellow Americans proud?"
That was 74 years ago.
Their story is not in the history books, yet.
