We don’t just need more Grants, we need to remember them. Especially in a time where humility and principle seem like outdated concepts. Imagine if today’s politicians approached power with even a fraction of Grant’s humility and long game vision. Sigh!

I hope you are having a good weekend John :)

Happy Monday!

Holy wow, that mausoleum is unbelievable. Because I’ve only visited New York City once, I’ve never been to Grant’s Tomb.

But when I lived in the Washington, D.C. area, I used to love walking around downtown and going to visit the monuments.

A couple that had the most impact on me were Arlington Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. And yes, we definitely need more leaders like Grant today.

Agreed on those DC sites. I’m also a big fan of the Jefferson Memorial. Thanks for reading, Bette!

I enjoy your articles, and I feel like I either get a legal or history lesson! Anyway, your writing is really grounded which I appreciate.
