Women are the beating heart of America. Think about how difficult it
must have been for women over two hundred years ago. They chose to
accompany their men on a sailing ship meant more for cargo than
comfort. It was a long voyage, weeks at sea with risks, self-sacrifice
and no guarantees.
These incredible women joined together with men on a pilgrimage to find something so precious, they were willing to endure hardship and the unknown.
Successful, the first thing the women did was prepare a meal of thanksgiving to God.
In
1775. England’s monarchy claimed rule over the new land. The men and
women settlers rejected the old life that they left behind. They were
determined to maintain their freedom from England. It meant standing up
for what they wanted against a powerful empire. The risks were high, but
that’s what they did.
History recorded that the men were few against many professional soldiers. Women stepped up without hesitation. They sacrificed warm beds for cold nights, hunger, thirst, unimaginable fear and broken bones.
It was a WOMAN named Betsy Ross who sewed that first flag symbolizing the UNION of these brave men and women and the original 13 colonies. It has red and white stripes with a circle of stars in the middle of a blue background.
Our National Anthem, the Star Spangled Banner” tells the story of our FLAG at Fort McHenry.
-------------------------------
“Oh, say can you see, By the dawn's early light, What so proudly we hailed At the twilight's last gleaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, Thru the perilous fight, O'er the ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming? And the rockets red glare, The bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night That our flag was still there.
O, say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave. O'er the land of the free And the home of the brave?"
-------------------------------
Like the men, women shed blood. Many died. They did all this to insure a better way of life for themselves and future generationns.
The bond these brave men and women formed was so strong, that even outnumbered, they won that battle and a lot more. The brave men and women had formed their “union” of courage to win victory for the new land they referred to as the United Colonies.
On September 9, 1776, the Continental Congress formally named the land, “United States” of America.
When the United States Constitution was written in 1787, the first words documented a tribute to those brave men and women and the “union” they formed.
-------------------------------
"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 Republic for the United States of America.”
-------------------------------
The goal of a Constitutional Republic was to avoid the dangerous extremes of tyranny. What exists in America under the Democrats is a far cry from the Constitutional Republic our forefathers brought forth.
Many people are under the false impression our form of government is a democracy. Democrats as far back as President Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Nancy Pelosi and of course, Joe Biden have all been heard saying, "In a democracy…" This is, of course, completely untrue.
It's another hoax by Democrats who over the decades have tried to brainwash Americans by repeating the word “democracy” over and over. They even may have washed the word Republic from the Internet.
It was a WOMAN who was excited to know what our Founders created for America. She asked, “Well, Doctor, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” Benjamin Franklin smartly replied, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
The U.S. Constitution was ratified on or about 1788, It was official. America’s “First Veterans” of the American Revolution became our “First Citizens.”
Those brave men, women and children were no longer pilgrims, settlers, colonists, foreigners, immigrants...
They became, “We the People,” and ESTABLISHED THE LEGACY OF CITIZENSHIP to “ourselves and our posterity” meaning our descendants for generations to come in perpetuity.
We should remember always that citizenship had been earned through bravery, bloodshed and sacrifice” of men and WOMEN.
What they accomplished -- is so important. That’s why the founders of our country wrote it at the very beginning of our treasured United States Constitution.
