In a recent proclamation by the 47th President of the USA, Donald John Trump, he commemorated this very important date in American history and for freedom in world history.  From time to time, those who cherish freedom must fight tyrants who would take our liberties away.  Those on the right side of history will say the people rose up in…See More
