Both sides of my family have soldiers and Generals who fought to gain freedom from England during the revolution. I am so proud of their effort, but feel so lost for letting their hard work slip away. Communism has been insidious and I dropped the ball in my generation. I could cry right now :-(

My Great Grandfather 7 or so times ago, signed the Declaration of Independence. Perhaps we need to revisit this for our own times. Jonathan Witherspoon New Jersey
That is amazing! I know that makes you proud, and also humbled. Those guys fought and many died for our start here in America.
Perhaps that's why so many of us are here. It's in our blood.
I have American Indian ancestry and I'm here to help protect, in any way I can, the greatest nation this Earth has ever seen.
Also, I want to protect the lands that my ancestors lived and died on for countless generations.
This is the truth. I believe most of us here do have roots back to the founders of America.
👏👏👏
My grandmother, who was the president of the DAR in Studio City, California, did a genealogy on our family and we’re related to George Washington 😉
Yes! Me also. By his brother because you know George didn’t have any children.
Yes, I totally understand that.
Same here, through his brother who lived in what is now West Virginia, via my grandmother's family. Also 5 times great-grandfather was a Revolutionary War soldier and was at Yorktown.
We are all probably related 😅. Come on over for dinner anytime!
I'm sure we are. While I was researching our family, I learned my then sister-in-law and I were distant cousins. We're both descended from a brother and a sister (my family) who married a sister and a brother (her family) in the 1700s. Another friend found her ancestor and her husband's ancestor came to Virginia on the same ship in the late 1600s. Neither my SIL nor the friend had any idea their family had ever lived in Virginia.
I’m related to John Hanson, first president of the United States under the Articles of Confederation. Before George Washington.
He was probably part of the first settlers, the Pilgrems. I am the same - family lines go back to the 1600’s.
Dont feel bad for whats happening, the reality of it all was this was a multi generational plan to try and break this nation that began long before your grandfather was old enough to understand what was happening
I guess the answer is in the Bible, and we know how that story ends! 🙏
I'm proud that one of my ancestors was right there in the boat crossing the river with Washinton!
That is so amazing :-)
Dont be. Their hard work is what has given humanity the runway needed for the patriotic WHs to regroup and bring about this Q plan. Without their hard work, America would have been a pure puppet state a century ago and the entire world would have been enslaved by now.
Thank you - that does give me hope! It is just so frustrating that most people don’t understand or come to their part of understanding that their heritage gave us all this opportunity our forefathers created! I just wish I knew how to be better at getting people excited about defending our republic :-). I definitely could be a member, and have considered DAR, but was put off when they started accepting trans men 😩. This filth is infiltrating everything our nation was built on. By design, of course.
So I will disclose that I am part of the Scottish diaspora. Hence my user name 😜
My 7th GF was promoted from enlisted to officer at Valley Forge by George Washington himself. He was 50! He was part of the German speaking forces that fought with the patriots. His father came to the new world in 1710. My history is thick. 50 plus relatives fought in the Civil War on both sides.
That’s amazing! Someone mentioned above that this is a reason maybe we all feel connected here - our own blood ancestors fought for this concept and concocted the most beautiful form of government. If only we can keep it …
It is fun to trace family roots. Here is a pro hack: Ancestry.com is a paid for platform, but owned by the LDS Church. They have a free website - familysearch.org.
Check that out :-)
