Roughly half of Americans even own a passport. In Sweden and the Netherlands it’s basically everyone, over 99 percent, and across Europe about two thirds have been to another country. Same rate? Come on. And it’s not one trip either. More than half of Swedes have been to ten or more countries. For Americans it’s about one in ten.

1. Never underestimate the weather 2. Never overestimate your abilities 3. AGE absolutely matters Seniors dehydrate faster. Seniors don't adapt to extreme temperatures as quickly. In shape or not, aging plays a role.

Barnaby Breaks History 🇺🇸
🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know: Peter Francisco He was a giant of his time and a living celebrity across the entire Continental Army. Legend says George Washington personally called him his “One-Man-Army” and had a massive six-foot broadsword specially forged just for him. Peter’s story starts as a five year old when he was kidnapped from his home in the Portuguese Azores islands, sailed across the Atlantic, and abandoned on a Virginia dock. He was found dressed nicely with silver buckles marked “P.F.” on his shoes and was adopted by Patrick Henry’s uncle. He grew into a literal giant: 6 foot 6 inches tall and 260 pounds of pure muscle from blacksmith work and hard labor. At 16 he personally heard Patrick Henry’s “Give me liberty or give me death” speech and begged to enlist in the 10th Virginia Regiment. He fought in nearly every major battle of the Revolutionary War. At Brandywine he took a musket ball to the leg while holding a narrow gap so Washington’s army could escape. He was wounded again at Monmouth when a ball tore through his right thigh. In 1779 Washington picked him for the “forlorn hope” assault on Stony Point. In the dead of night he scrambled up the cliff with 19 other men. He was the second to reach the top, took a 9-inch bayonet slash across his stomach, killed the man who stabbed him plus two more Redcoats, and was the first to seize the British flag. At the disastrous Battle of Camden, with the army collapsing, he single handedly lifted a massive cannon barrel onto his shoulders and carried it to safety, then bayoneted a charging British dragoon. During the chaotic retreat a British grenadier raised his musket to bayonet Colonel Mayo. Francisco shot the grenadier dead. A cavalryman charged him with a saber. Francisco sidestepped two swings, lifted the man out of the saddle with his bayonet, took the horse, and rode through enemy lines yelling like a Loyalist. He caught up to Colonel Mayo, cut down the British officer holding him, and gave his colonel the horse so he could escape. After Camden he reenlisted in Colonel William Washington’s cavalry. He complained his sword felt like a toothpick, so Washington ordered a true giant’s broadsword forged for him, six feet long with a 5 foot blade, and it was delivered just two days before Guilford Court House. At Guilford on March 15, 1781, Francisco led the cavalry charge. Swinging his great sword he personally felled 11 Redcoats in one furious assault. When a bayonet pinned his leg to his horse he calmly helped the soldier yank it free. Then, with one crushing swing, he brought down his giant broadsword and split the man’s head clean down to his shoulders. Moments later another bayonet impaled his right thigh completely through. He kept fighting until he tumbled unconscious from his horse. He was found beside four corpses and nursed back to health by a kindly Quaker. Francisco walked back to Virginia and was given a special scout assignment. One day at Ben Ward’s Tavern nine of Tarleton’s feared dragoons surrounded him. Eight went inside. The paymaster demanded his silver shoe buckles. When the man bent down Francisco grabbed the saber, slashed him across the head and neck, took a pistol ball to the side (his sixth wound), and fought off the rest. He captured all eight of their horses as seven dragoons fled for their lives. This legendary stand made him known far and wide as the “Giant of Virginia” and the “Hercules of the Revolution.” It marked the end of his fighting career. He formed a lifelong friendship with the Marquis de Lafayette. The two men first bonded while recovering from wounds after Brandywine and later stood together watching Cornwallis surrender at Yorktown. After the war, in 1825 he was appointed Sergeant-at-Arms of the Virginia Legislature, where he worked alongside Chief Justice John Marshall and Senator Henry Clay. When Peter passed away in 1831 at the age of 70, the Virginia House of Delegates adjourned out of respect for this amazing man. His funeral was conducted in the House of Delegates Hall at the state capitol, and the funeral procession comprised the governor, legislators, citizens and units of the light infantry, artillery, dragoons and the Public Guard. Peter Francisco was buried with full military honors in Richmond’s Shockoe Cemetery. His tombstone simply reads “a soldier of revolutionary fame.” Soil from his grave later nourished Virginia’s Liberty Tree at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Colonel Mayo never forgot that Peter had saved his life. Years later he presented Francisco with his own dress sword in gratitude. That dress sword is preserved today at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture in Richmond. His famous broadsword, the one Washington forged for him, was presented to the Virginia Historical Society by his daughter but has since disappeared. A granite column now marks the spot at Guilford Court House where he felled eleven Redcoats. Five states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey) have celebrated March 15 as Peter Francisco Day. March 15 marks the day of battle at Guilford Court House. The Portuguese Continental Union created a Peter Francisco Award in his honor. The first recipient was President John F. Kennedy. A historical marker still stands at City Point where the five year old boy with the silver “P.F.” buckles first arrived in America. Peter Francisco is an American Legend 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 Countdown Until America’s 250th Birthday: Day 16 Peter Francisco was only 16 years old when he joined the Continental Army and began fighting for American independence. Despite his young age, his incredible strength and bravery made him one of the most legendary soldiers of the Revolutionary War. He fought in multiple major battles and became known as the “Hercules of the Revolution.” I will repost my badass writeup I did in May on him for those who have not seen it. It's well worth the read. Thank you, Peter! 🫡🇺🇸

Dear Americans, I can't overstate the extent to which acting naturally will make you look like a simpleton in Eastern Europe. You know those sweet kids with developmental disorders who just hug everyone they meet? That's what you are with your smile to us.

U.S. Navy Captain David McCampbell of Bessemer, Alabama, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary actions on June 19, 1944, and October 24, 1944 during the Battle of the Philippine Sea & Battle of Leyte Gulf, Philippine Islands. On June 19, 1944, during “Marianas Turkey Shoot,” Commander McCampbell shot down five Japanese Yokosuka D4Y ‘Judy’ dive-bombers to become an “ace in a day.” Later that afternoon, he downed two Mitsubishi A6M ‘Zekes’ over Guam. On October 24, 1944, he became the only American airman to achieve “ace in a day” status twice. McCampbell and his wingman attacked a Japanese force of 60 aircraft. He shot down nine, setting a U.S. single-mission aerial combat record. For his actions on these days, he was awarded the Medal of Honor, becoming the only Fast Carrier Task Force pilot to be so honored. He was promoted to captain in July 1952 and retired from the Navy in 1964. He died in Florida in 1996 and was interred at Arlington National Cemetery. McCampbell is the Navy's all-time leading flying ace and top F6F Hellcat ace with 34 aerial victories. He was the third-highest American-scoring ace of World War II and the highest-scoring American ace to survive the war. He also set a world single-mission aerial combat record of shooting down nine enemy planes in one mission on October 24, 1944. #WeRememberThem

Echoes of War
Echoes of War@EchoesofWarYT·
Two weeks before Gettysburg, the most important question in America was painfully simple. Where is Lee's army going. On June 17, 1863, Union cavalry tried to force an answer. They pushed toward Jeb Stuart's screen of horsemen, the human curtain hiding Lee's entire army as it slid north toward Pennsylvania. At a tiny crossroads town called Aldie, Virginia, they hit that curtain hard. What followed was hours of brutal, close range cavalry fighting. Men slashed at each other with sabers in the streets, along stone walls, and across open hayfields. Horses went down everywhere. It was loud, personal, and savage, the kind of fight where you can see the other man's face. Neither side could claim a clean win. But Stuart held the line and kept Lee's movements hidden a little longer. Aldie was a warning shot. The storm was coming at Gettysburg, and it proved the Union cavalry was finally ready to go toe to toe with the best horsemen the South had.

It means if you are calling the Jews “Israel,” you don’t know the Bible or history. In the same sense you claim “Israel” is still here - well…so are the Egyptians, so is Rome/White Europe, so is Germany, so is Babylon/Iraq, so are the Ottomans/Turks. The Jews are nothing special. They are simply a special kind of wicked.
