America250’s Post

For people across America, our flag is a reminder of our Nation’s founding principle. It stands for the sacred idea that we are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. Our flag is also a reminder of our shared calling: to stand for the ideals our country was founded on — democracy, freedom, and justice for all. On Flag Day and during National Flag Week, we take pride in the promise and purpose represented by our Nation’s flag. Our country’s flag was created in 1777, when America was still a new idea. Americans flew it at their homes during the Revolutionary War as brave troops fought for our country’s independence from British rule — representing the resolve and resilience of our Nation’s 13 colonies with 13 stripes and stars. As our Nation evolved, so too did our flag — with every new star added to Old Glory, we were reminded that the work of forging a more perfect Union never ends.

From the Dec 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor until the US-Japan Security Treaty of September 1951 we went from fierce enemies to strong Allies in just 10 years...occasionally US foreign policy and international security relations gets something right 🇺🇸 🇯🇵 https://lnkd.in/enZ2eJux "...the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which heavily damaged the US naval base...opening the Pacific theater of World War II. The United States made a massive investment in naval power and systematically destroyed Japan's offensive capabilities while island hopping across the Pacific. To force a surrender, the Americans systematically bombed Japanese cities, culminating in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. Japan surrendered, and was subjected to seven years of military occupation by the United States, during which the Americans under General Douglas MacArthur eliminated militarism and rebuilt the country's economic and political systems to transform Japan into a democracy. In the 1950s and 1960s Japan entered into a military alliance with the United States, and experienced unprecedented economic growth by sheltering under the U.S. nuclear umbrella, taking full advantage of U.S.-backed free trade schemes, and supplying American wars in Korea and Vietnam. Japanese exports to the United States dramatically expanded in the postwar period, with Japanese automobiles and consumer electronics being especially popular, and Japan became the world's second largest economy after the United States (in 2010 it dropped to third place after China). From the late 20th century and onwards, the United States and Japan have had firm and active political, economic and military relationships. US government officials generally consider Japan to be one of its closest allies and partners. Most Americans generally perceive Japan positively, with 84% viewing Japan favorably in 2021; however, few Americans consider Japan one of their closest allies in public opinion polls, with only 1% of Americans picking Japan as their most important foreign policy partners, far behind other key American allies, according to a 2021 Pew survey. In a New York Times analysis of YouGov data in 2017, American survey respondents ranked Japan as their 21st closest ally, also behind other key American allies. Japan is currently one of the most pro-American countries in the world, with 67% of Japanese viewing the United States favorably, according to a 2018 Pew survey; and 75% saying they trust the United States as opposed to 7% for China. In a 2019 Pew survey, 63% of people in Japan named the United States their closest ally, far higher than any other country named by Japanese respondents."

Remembering Pearl Harbor: Honoring Lives and Their Stories Today, we reflect on the bravery and sacrifice of those who lived through the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This devastating event changed the course of history and shaped the lives of an entire generation. The attack destroyed or damaged nearly 20 American naval vessels, including eight battleships, and over 300 airplanes. Tragically, 2,403 Americans were killed, and 1,178 others were wounded. This unprovoked assault was a catalyst for the United States to join World War II. Just days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, bringing the nation into a global conflict that would define a generation. For those who were there, the memories are vivid: the shock, the fear, and the resilience in the face of unimaginable horror. These firsthand accounts are more than history—they are living reminders of courage and humanity. If you’re lucky enough to know someone who lived through that time, take a moment today to listen. Ask them what they remember, how they felt, and how life changed for them. Record their stories. Write them down. These personal narratives are treasures that preserve the lessons of our past for future generations. Let's not just remember the attack but also the incredible resolve that followed. Americans came together in unity, resilience, and a shared determination to defend freedom. It’s a reminder of what we can achieve when we stand together in the face of adversity. Let's also commit to honoring the voices of those who bore witness. History is not just found in textbooks; it lives in the hearts and minds of those who were there. #PearlHarbor #DayOfInfamy #LivingHistory #RememberAndHonor #WWII #chicagogensoc #chicagofamilylegacies

September 11, 2024 The border crisis has been moved, by the Biden/Harris Administration, across America to your state where your state tax dollars will have to deal with all the medical, hospital, educational, housing, crime and other costs for the millions of illegals. An army of terrorist “gotaways” are now in America. An estimated 100,000 gotaways a month, 1,200,000 a year. Are they criminals, sex predators, mentally ill, human traffickers, gang members, drug cartel members, terrorists or sleeper cells? An army of terrorists now in America will make the 911 World Trade Center look like a warm-up and no one is paying attention! Only 19 terrorists to take out the World Trade Center and we have over one million, per year, “gotaways” that crossed the border. Just think what 190,000 terrorists will be able to do. The border and America are not secure. Our cities are not safe. America is not safe.

🇺🇸 Remembering 9/11: Honoring Resilience, Unity, and Courage 🇺🇸 On this solemn day, we pause to remember the lives lost and the heroes who emerged on September 11th, 2001. This day forever changed the course of history, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds. "Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve." - George W Bush At Armatherm, we honor the resilience of those who faced unimaginable challenges and the unity that brought us together in the face of adversity. Today, we reflect on the strength of our communities and the power of compassion. As we move forward, let us continue to embody the courage and solidarity that define this day. We stand with all who were affected and remain committed to building a better, more united future. #NeverForget #September11 #Unity #Resilience #ArmathermCares
