“Bravest of the Brave.”
With 40 confirmed aerial victories, Major Richard I. Bong was the most successful American fighter pilot of World War II.
Flying P-38 Lightnings in the Pacific, Bong went head-to-head with Japanese aircraft again and again — and came out on top every time. His courage in the skies became legendary.
General Douglas MacArthur personally awarded him the Medal of Honor, calling him exactly what he was: “The bravest of the brave.”
As we honor America’s 250th birthday, we salute warriors like Bong — not just for their skill, but for their unshakable will to fight for freedom.
🇺🇸 Because of men like him, liberty soars.

As we reflect on the leaders who shaped our nation, we remember Daniel Carroll of Maryland — a signer of the United States Constitution and an early champion of religious freedom. 🇺🇸
Carroll played a key role at the Constitutional Convention in 1787 and later served in the First United States Congress. As one of the original commissioners appointed to help establish Washington, D.C., he also contributed to building the foundation of our nation’s capital.
Though not as widely known as some of his fellow Founders, Daniel Carroll’s steady leadership and commitment to constitutional government helped strengthen the early republic.
His legacy reminds us that America was built not only by famous names — but by principled men devoted to liberty and service.
