June is PTSD Awareness Month, and PTSD can affect veterans, servicemembers, and their families long after military service ends. The good news? No one has to face it alone.

That's why The American Legion's Be the One campaign encourages us all to check in, listen without judgment, and help connect those who may be struggling to the support they deserve.

You don't have to have all the answers. Sometimes, being the one who reaches out can make all the difference.

🌟 Did you know? in 1731, Martha Dandridge was born at Chestnut Grove plantation in New Kent County, Virginia.

The first of eight children born to John Dandridge and Frances Jones, Martha grew up to become Martha Washington—a savvy businesswoman, devoted mother, and the original First Lady of the United States.

What did American history mean for Thomas Jefferson in his time, and how would he have viewed American democracy, generations later? 250 years ago this summer, while in Philadelphia, Jefferson was a Virginia delegate to the Second Continental Congress and knew that his assignment to draft the U.S. Declaration of Independence would make history.

In “Thomas Jefferson Survives: American Independence in His Time and Ours,” leading historians and professors Peter S. Onuf and Francis D. Cogliano join forces to reflect on how Jefferson’s reputation and legacy were shaped by his own experience, education, and sense of history. Before his death in 1826, Jefferson wrote instructions to be remembered as “... Author of the Declaration of Independence [,] of the Statute for religious freedom & Father of the University of Virginia” to anyone who would visit the obelisk at his Monticello gravesite. Living in Virginia, Philadelphia, and Paris, Jefferson read news from international revolutions and discussed ideas of independence and democracy in both his private and professional life. With timely insights into how Jefferson experienced and shaped American history, Onuf and Cogliano investigate whether the “history of the United States is therefore the story of whether Americans have succeeded or failed to live up to the ideals that Jefferson articulated in the Declaration” in three essays that ask, “does Jefferson matter?”

Read an excerpt and join us onsite or online tomorrow, June 3 as Francis D. Cogliano & Peter S. Onuf close out this season of our Read the Revolution Speaker Series with a lecture and Q&A to launch their new book: https://bit.ly/49VaavR
