Malnourished, ill-clothed, and under-paid: it is astonishing to consider the level of commitment to liberty exhibited by Colonial Militia and Minutemen and Continental Army soldiers slogging hundreds of miles for 8 years in sweltering and freezing weather to finally win the American Revolutionary War against the British Empire, the most powerful land and naval military force in the world at the time.
The White House Salute to America 250 Task Force, in partnership with Hillsdale College, provides a history series that tells the remarkable story of American Independence, highlighting the stories of the crucial characters and events that resulted in a small rag-tag army defeating the mightiest empire in the world and establishing the greatest republic ever to exist. This is the story of America.

• Archer Park, Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia, Dec. 14, 2025
Two terrorists—a 50-year-old man and his 24-year-old son—positioned themselves on a small footbridge and opened fire for more than 11 minutes on a Jewish community gathered for the evening annual beach festival, Chanukah by the Sea, attended by many children and families. At least 15 people were killed, and 42 others were injured. The 50-year-old died at the scene, and his son is in custody. A bystander is being hailed as a hero after wrestling the rifle away from one of the gunmen, but was then wounded twice by the other gunman. Several improvised explosive devices were discovered in a vehicle at the scene and disarmed. The event did not have a visible security team present.
