On October 3, 1789, President George Washington issued a proclamation, officially setting aside Thursday, November 26 as a national day of gratitude.
Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation of 1863
On October 3, 1863, America was as divided as we’ve ever been. We were well into the 3rd year of the Civil War, and things were looking bleak for a unified America.
am a furious advocate for Thanksgiving being the best holiday in the history of the world. It marks a time of year in northern Arizona when the leaves turn gold & orange; when Holiday’s starter pistol pops, marking the beginning of the Christmas Season; when mornings are kissed by winter’s lips…..
Though it ended a few days ago, another summer has come & passed. Like many people do with summer, I decided to relive some of my favorite sports highlights, while I still had some relatively nice weather. There were some baseball, basketball, tennis, & some action sports. Let’s take a look a some of my favorite summer highlights. (NOTE: These events did take place from the first day of summer, June 21st, to the last day, September 22nd).
In sports there are some players that just find ways to stir the pot away from their sport. The last few weeks, we have indeed had several. Because of their blatant disrespect towards themselves, they now get to play The Captain’s favorite new game of F*** Around and Find Out. I would like to say I am sorry for this…but damn these divas deserve it.
