American Servicewoman Needs Your Help

armed-sweetheart:

I really need more people’s help. Please.

The Republic often devotes the grand majority of its work to the majesty of our shared history, sometimes to current events at times of true import, dutifully to charity at moments of great tragedy. This post however, is dedicated to America’s servicemen and women who, with reverence and honor, defend our lives and liberty, day in, day out, for their God, their country, their homes, their families, and strangers they have never, nor will ever, meet. More specifically, this post is devoted to the aid of one servicewoman in particular who has been gravely and personally wounded by the callous behavior of a truly indifferent soul. Out of respect, we will not divulge the details of this offense ourselves; however, if you wish to help one of our guardians in this time of need, you can message her to find out more information and what you can do to help. This will not take more than one minute of your time and a few clicks of the mouse. After everything our men and women in uniform do to protect us, this is the very least any one of us can do to show we also know how to defend our own. Your time is truly appreciated.

God save the Republic,
The American Republic

Some of the unfortunate, who fell into the merciless hands of the British, were more cruelly and inhumanely butchered. Some were set on fire with buckwheat straw, and others had their clothes burned on their backs. Some of the surviving sufferers say they saw the enemy set fire to wounded while yet alive, who struggled to put it out but were too weak and expired under the torture. John Armstrong

Justice, sir, is the greatest interest of man on earth. It is the ligament which holds civilized beings and civilized nations together. Wherever her temple stands, and so long as it is duly honored, there is a foundation for social security, general happiness and the improvement and progress of our race.

Concord Hymn Ralph Waldo Emerson By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world.

By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.
