Infrastructure doesn't just move people and goods—it moves a nation forward. George Washington recognized this in 1785 when he gazed out on the Potomac and saw much more than a river. He saw a means to connect a nation. He knew engineering was only half of the challenge. The rest was bringing people together and forging an agreement that would serve the local community. More than two centuries later, as we build the digital infrastructure of our own era, this lesson still holds.

The USS Constitution, aka Old Ironsides, is the world’s oldest commissioned war ship still afloat!
She was launched in 1797, one of six original frigates authorized for construction by the Naval Act of 1794 and the third constructed. The name “Constitution” was among ten names submitted to President George Washington by Secretary of War Timothy Pickering in March or May for the frigates that were to be constructed.
Happy Independence Day America! 🇺🇸🫡

Bret Bair: But Mr. President, are you sure you want to give your America250 speech in a storm?!
President Trump: "I don't care. It's America 250! If they can storm the beaches at D-Day, I can do this speech."
Legend.
PRESIDENT TRUMP from Mount Rushmore: "You can be a communist or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both."
"As for those who peddle Marxist lies about our heritage, tell our children that we live on stolen land, or that our heroes were oppressors — they're doing something much worse than slandering our past. They are slandering and attacking our future. Not going to let that happen." @America250@Freedom250
