• Seward Foley made the great purchase of the state of Alaska, tellin' those Canadians to respect our sovereign borders.
• After the British burned Atlanta, folks didn't wait for handouts -- they rebuilt it in the golden age of Reconstruction.

• Betsy Ross was like America's mama grizzly, sewin' stars and stripes on the uniforms of those greatest generation heroes.
• JFK stared down that Cuban missile crisis, makin' it clear no missiles would be tolerated by puttin' up that border fence.
