Thank you Senator Lindsey Graham for your many years of service to our great nation.

In Memoriam

This week, we mourn the loss of Senator Lindsey Graham, one of America’s most dedicated public servants. A tireless champion for our military, our veterans, and American strength on the world stage, Senator Graham served his country with distinction for decades.

Lindsey Graham (1955–2026) served in the U.S. Congress for over three decades, holding office as a U.S. Representative (1995–2003) and U.S. Senator (2003–2026) from South Carolina. Prior to his political career, he was a U.S. Air Force lawyer, reaching the rank of colonel.

The late U.S. Senator's career can be detailed by the following timeline:

Military Service
• 1982–1988: Served on active duty as an attorney in the U.S. Air Force, including a four-year deployment in West Germany.
• 1989–2015: Served in the South Carolina Air National Guard and subsequently the U.S. Air Force Reserves, performing active-duty tours during the Gulf War and retiring as a colonel.
State and Local Government
• 1988–1994: Worked as an assistant county attorney for Oconee County and city attorney for Central, South Carolina, while managing a private law practice.
• 1992–1994: Elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives for a single term.
U.S. House of Representatives
• 1995–2003: Elected to represent South Carolina's 3rd Congressional District, becoming the first Republican to hold the seat since Reconstruction.
• 1999: Served as a House manager (prosecutor) during the Senate impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton.
U.S. Senate
• 2003–2026: Elected to the U.S. Senate to succeed the retiring Strom Thurmond. He was reelected to consecutive terms in 2008, 2014, and 2020.

President Trump remembered him as “one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known” — a true American Patriot who was always working, right until the end. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with his family, friends, and all who were blessed to know him.

From the White House:

America Turns 250 — A Week for the History Books

America celebrated its 250th birthday in a way the Founders would have approved — with strength, faith, and unapologetic pride. President Trump addressed the nation at the National Mall on July 4th, declaring “Our Destiny Is Written By God!” before the largest fireworks display in American history lit up the sky. Days before, he stood at Mount Rushmore — beneath the granite faces of Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt — and delivered 28 minutes of unforgettable remarks. America is back, and the world knows it.

The week brought landmark achievements on every front. Trump Accounts officially launched — investment accounts for every American child, rung in with an Opening Bell ceremony from the Oval Office. At the NATO Summit in Ankara, Türkiye, President Trump secured the most ambitious defense commitment in the alliance’s history: every NATO ally pledging 5% of GDP on defense by 2035. The Dow Jones crossed 53,000 for the first time ever. And $6.9 billion in new American investments were announced — from Toyota moving Tacoma production out of Mexico and back to Texas, to Micron and GM doubling down on America.

ICE conducted a nationwide holiday blitz arresting murderers, pedophiles, and gang members — and eight Tren de Aragua terrorists were charged in connection with kidnappings and executions in Texas and Illinois. The country is safer, stronger, and winning.
