THE AMERICAN’S CREED “ I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.” –Written by William Tyler Page in 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918. So well said. I wish it could be recited each day by all elected officials, schoolchildren, and members of the military.🇺🇸 It is quoted in several of my resources, including my book, online course, and posters. Share it in the workplace and with family and friends. Let this be a starting point to great conversations about the history of our nation. 💡 May God heal and bless America. 🙏🇺🇸🙏 #prosperity101 #westandforfreedom #godblessamerica #godblesstheusa #freedom #liberty #employer #employers #constitution #workplace #politicsaffectsbusiness #politicsaffectsourdailylives US Christian Chamber of Commerce Red Balloon Marty Lotito

Juneteenth, observed on June 19th, is a monumental date for African American communities in the United States, marking the end of slavery back in 1865. Despite being announced in 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation took more than two years to take place, and slavery was not officially abolished in all Confederate states until June 19, 1865.

patriot /pa-trē-ət/noun - a person who loves and supports his or her country - a person who defends their country and its interests with devotion - a person who values individual rights, especially one who attempts to defend those rights against presumed interference by the federal government What does it mean to be a patriot? Do you consider yourself to be a patriot? If so, how are you showing love and support for your country? How are you defending your nation? How are you protecting individual rights so people may flourish in freedom without undue interference or oppression from the government? In this time of cultural upheaval, we all need to ask ourselves if we are truly doing all we can to support and defend our Constitution, to protect our nation against all enemies (foreign and domestic), and to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.

The 4th of July, or Independence Day, celebrates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. This document, primarily authored by Thomas Jefferson, declared the thirteen American colonies free from British rule. Growing discontent with British policies, such as taxation without representation, led the Continental Congress to convene and address these grievances. On July 2, 1776, the Congress voted for independence, and on July 4, they formally adopted the Declaration, outlining philosophical justifications for independence and listing grievances against King George III. Independence Day symbolizes liberty and the founding principles of the United States. It is marked by patriotic displays, including fireworks, parades, concerts, and family gatherings, celebrating the nation's history and values. #IndependenceDay #4thOfJuly #Freedom #AmericanHistory #Patriotism #Liberty #FoundingFathers #CelebrateFreedom #USA #AmericanIndependence #Commutec

"When American civilians enlisted in the fight against a tyrannical dictator, they coined a phrase... But there’s more to America than "baseball, mom, and apple pie." What makes us great is more than a story, it's a narrative... It's the American Dream. ↳ A story is an anecdote, a specific event with characters–a clear beginning, middle, and end. ↳ A narrative is an abstract concept, an overarching theme that keeps unfolding over time. At Storied, we use stories to engage emotionally, and narratives to guide strategy and inspire long-term thinking. So what’s the American Dream as a narrative? The Land of Opportunity Freedom of expression Entrepreneurial spirit Pursuit of happiness Risk-taking culture White picket fence Economic mobility And much more… I’d go so far to say: the American Dream is our national religion. Nothing unifies us more than the ideals in our national narrative. The American Dream inspires people worldwide, even in our current political state. So as you gather with friends and family in the coming days… Let us remember and freely share our American Dream! PS - What does the American Dream mean to you?"
