One thing in particular stuck out in my mind as President Trump delivered his pivotal Independence Day address at Mount Rushmore: this country was born not out of peace and reflection, but out of crisis and courage.

George Washington risked his life on the battlefields of the American Revolution and the frigid desolation of Valley Forge so that our nation could live. Thomas Jefferson committed our Founding creed to paper, knowing he risked execution as a traitor.
