A pivotal #RevolutionaryWar battle took place in the #WyomingValley of Pennsylvania 245 years ago, and for the past 145 years it’s been commemorated every #IndependenceDay. Some of my #ancestors were there.

2/23 Who is the greatest American #president? Most short lists include:
#GeorgeWashington, the visionary #RevolutionaryWar hero, #FoundingFather and 1st president. Quite the resume.
#FranklinDRoosevelt, the only four-term president and architect of the #NewDeal. No slouch either.
However, the nod usually goes to #AbrahamLincoln. After all, "he freed the slaves" and kept the Union together through #CivilWar victory.
And, he was...a #Republican!
