On June 19, 1865, more than two years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to announce to the more than 250,000 enslaved Black people in the state, that they were free by executive decree. This day came to be known as “Juneteenth.” Learn more about The Centers' fight for equity at thecentersohio.org/impact.

🇺🇸💪 Happy Independence Day from the team at Concealed Carry Concierge, LLC. As we celebrate Independence Day, I find myself drawn to one of the most poignant portrayals of American history: "The Patriot." This film not only entertains but also underscores crucial themes that resonate deeply today. Set during the American Revolutionary War, "The Patriot" vividly depicts the struggle for freedom and the pivotal role of armed citizens in securing independence. Mel Gibson's character, Benjamin Martin, exemplifies the bravery and determination of early American fighters who defended their liberties against tyranny. The movie powerfully illustrates how a well-armed populace can serve as a fortification against oppression and safeguard individual freedoms. It reminds us of the fundamental right enshrined in the Second Amendment: the right to keep and bear arms, crucial not just for personal defense but also as a check against potential abuses of power. In today's world, discussions around gun rights and the Second Amendment remain contentious and complex. Yet, "The Patriot" serves as a reminder of the historical context that shaped these constitutional freedoms. It prompts us to reflect on the responsibilities that accompany such rights and the enduring principles of self-defense and civic duty. This Independence Day, let's honor the sacrifices of those who fought for our freedom and the enduring values that continue to define our nation. As we enjoy fireworks and festivities, let's also reaffirm our commitment to upholding the principles that have safeguarded our liberties for centuries. #IndependenceDay #SecondAmendment #ThePatriot #AmericanHistory #ArmedCitizens #Freedom

On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress took a break from writing the Articles of Confederation and passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” Over 100 years later, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day. #HappyFlagDay #AmericanHistory #OldGlory #HemlockInsuranceGroup #HemlockisHere #LivingstonCountyInsurance #LivingstonCountyMI #LivCo #BrightonSmallBusiness #HomeAutoLifeCommercialInsurance
