Thank you to all the brave soldiers who fought for our freedom.  You will always have a special place in our hearts.

The Year We Failed America...And How to Recover Her for GOOD.
Three critical events in 1913, followed by a corresponding event in 1936, together struck a resounding blow to America's freedom.  In fact, they triggered the greatest Turning Point away from freedom in modern times.
What were these dangerous events?  Why do so few American citizens know about them - especially since they dramatically and negatively impact every detail of their lives?  Most importantly, how can their effects be reversed and freedom restored?
1913 answers these questions and more.  This is not a doomsday book for alarmists, but rather an optimistic action guide for thoughtful, dedicated freedom-lovers.  DeMille provides three clear, detailed, and practical solutions you can implement to restore America's freedom and revitalize her prosperity.
A new Turning Point of Freedom is desperately needed.  And reading this book will propel you to the front lines of that shift.  (Taken from the back cover of the book)

This book is very profound and eye-opening.  I had my pen in my hand as I read this book and I underlined quite a bit of information.  I will be using this book in our homeschool as a reference for when we learn about American History/U.S. Government/U.S. Constitution.  I highly recommend this book for all to read.  Everyone should know what happened back in 1913 and 1936!

Star Spangled Banner

The Star Spangled Banner Lyrics
By Francis Scott Key ~ September 13, 1814

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
‘Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war’s desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav’n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: “In God is our trust.”
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
