On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress took a break from writing the Articles of Confederation and passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” Over 100 years later, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day. #HappyFlagDay #AmericanHistory #OldGlory #HemlockInsuranceGroup #HemlockisHere #LivingstonCountyInsurance #LivingstonCountyMI #LivCo #BrightonSmallBusiness #HomeAutoLifeCommercialInsurance

In my new article published in the Virginia Review of Politics, I examine the fascinating life of Huey Long at the 130th anniversary of his birth, as well as the impact that his legacy continues to have on our current day.

As one of the largest democracy celebrates 78th anniversary of her independence today, it is important to reflect on what freedom mean and the responsibilities that come with them.

Kar Medical College and Hospital in 𝐦𝐲 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐉𝐨𝐲 is a harsh reminder of why we must not heedlessly trust any establishments - specially those which are meant to educate and/or care for us. These are the places on which dreams are built - the loved one's present and future. These institutions should never be allowed to be the cause of shattered hopes or loss. We must demand unwavering transparency, accountability, and systemic reform from the systems we rely on. It is about ensuring that education and health & social care serve their true purpose — nurturing and protecting lives, not endangering them. When lives are concerned there is no room for errors. 𝐓𝐨 𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭. These are not just lofty ideals; they are lifelines. No one should ever feel robbed of their right to dream. We must fiercely protect this right and ensure that every establishment upholds its sacred duty to nurture and safeguard the lives entrusted to them.

Save 📌 and Share with 3 people in your network 👥 🌟 Honoring Memorial Day and Securing Your Legacy 🌟 As we commemorate Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the courageous men and women who have sacrificed their lives to protect our freedoms. Their dedication inspires us to reflect on the values they fought to defend: freedom, family, and the future. In honoring their legacy, it's also a time to consider how we can protect and provide for our own families. One essential way to do this is by ensuring you have a comprehensive estate plan that includes a trust. 📜✨ 🔹 Why is a Trust Important? 1. Control and Flexibility: Dictate how and when your assets are distributed. 2. Privacy: Keep your estate matters private and out of public records. 3. Protection: Safeguard your loved ones from creditors and legal disputes. 4. Tax Benefits: Optimize tax advantages and reduce estate tax burdens. 5. Continuity and Stability: Ensure a seamless transition and preserve family harmony. This Memorial Day, as we remember those who have given their all, let’s also take steps to protect our own legacies. A well-crafted trust can provide peace of mind and security for your loved ones, ensuring your wishes are honored and your family is cared for. Reach out if you have any questions about incorporating a trust into your estate plan. Together, we can build a secure future for your family. 🤝 hashtag hashtag #MemorialDay #Legacy #EstatePlanning #Trusts #FamilyFirst #HonoringHeroes Give this post a Like 👍 Follow us on Insta: ms.trusts411 🙌 Let's connect on LinkedIn 🤝 DM for Trust Planning 💵 Email: [email protected] Website: legacytaxadvisorsllc.com --- Register to join our FREE trust webinar this FRIDAY at 10:30am EST, Securing your Legacy - The Advantages of Trusts in Estate Planning 💻 Registration Link: https://lnkd.in/dPxGds2n If you can't attend, DM your email address for the webinar recording 🙌 https://lnkd.in/dEqtt4re
