In 1945, American troops landed on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima and engaged in a key World War II battle. On this day, resilience was immortalized when six Marines raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi, resulting in a now-iconic photograph that serves as the inspiration for the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial. ???? As we head towards #America250, let us honor the courage, sacrifice, and valor of the soldiers of Iwo Jima. (??: Joe Rosenthal)

On February 9, 1737, Thomas Paine was born. The author of “Common Sense,” Paine’s work is a symbol of the American spirit at the time of the Revolution –?and beyond. This fiery pamphlet laid out a bold argument for freedom and liberty, speaking directly to the hearts of people across the 13 original colonies. According to some historians, “Common Sense” sold over half a million copies by the end of the Revolution. As we near #America250, let’s celebrate the enduring power of words to change the world, and the spirit of independence that unites us as Americans. ?????
