This Day in History — June 14, 1775
The US Army turns 250 today.
It was created before America even existed.
Angry colonists with muskets became an army.
250 years later, still here.
Older than the country it defends.

A wooden warship. Cannonballs bounced off it.
August 19, 1812 the USS Constitution earns the name “Old Ironsides.”
Not iron. Just American oak and grit.
Still afloat in Boston. @ussconstitution.bsky.social

April 15, 1912:
At 2:20 AM, the Titanic sinks in the North Atlantic.
1,500+ dead.
Not just from ice—
but from arrogance, classism, and too few lifeboats.
The “unsinkable” ship went down in just 2 hours.
And so did the illusion of safety.

Robert E. Lee surrenders to Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox.
No battle. No speeches. Just one meeting, 26,000 troops, and the end of the Confederacy in Virginia.
Grant told his men:
“The rebels are our countrymen again.”

But for 27 days, they fought back with stolen pistols and homemade bombs.
They didn’t expect to survive.
They just refused to go quietly.

On this day in 1605, Guy Fawkes was caught guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder beneath the House of Lords. The plan was simple. Blow up Parliament. Kill the king.
The plot failed. Fawkes was tortured and executed. Britain still celebrates his failure with bonfires and fireworks.
