250th birthday of United states
4 july 2026
In 2026 the United States will be celebrating it’s 250th Birthday. This “experiment”, began by some of our ancestors who decided they had enough of a tyrant who ignored the rule of law and trampled citizens rights. The king thought the colonist’s incapable of waging a revolt against his edicts. He soon found out just how wrong he was. We are descended from that fighting spirit. Our organization will likely be involved as part of the festivities next year. Join us and be part of the celebration.
“one if by land, two if by sea”
19 april 2025
Saturday marked the 250th anniversary of the famous events at the Old North Church where patriots hung lamps in the steeple to indicate which way the British soldiers were coming to invade. “ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY SEA”. Thus began a series of events in Lexington and Concord Massachusetts that culminated with the creation of a new nation “one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”. A promise we are still trying to fully honor. This “experiment” became one of the strongest and wealthiest nations on the planet. We must continue to strive everyday to fulfill the promises of the founders.
