December 25. On this day in history, someone extreme history value was born. Someone so American. . . Clara Barton. For you who don't know Mrs. Barton and why she is being mentioned, let me fill you in. She started the American Red Cross. The AMERICAN red cross. Yes! We salute you Mrs. Barton. Her brother fell from the rafter of their family's barn and she tended to him for two years and learned the trade necessary to organizing the AMERICAN red cross. Let me just show you a quote from Mrs. Barton as her brother was on his death bed.
"
As a patriot, he had me serve my country with all I had, even with my life if need be; as the daughter of an accepted Mason, he had me seek and comfort the afflicted everywhere, and as a Christian he charged me to honor God and love mankind."
Need I say anymore?
Long live America.
Sorry I missed the Christmas Eve post, but I couldn't handle a holiday revolved around Eve before Clara Barton is commemorated with a holiday. Let's work on that.
Once again,
Long live America.
