Corrie ten Boom tells this story most fully in her book The Hiding Place and in later talks and articles.
After the war, she was speaking at a church in Munich about God’s forgiveness and mentioned Ravensbrück, the concentration camp where she and her sister Betsie had been imprisoned and where Betsie died. As people filed out, she saw a man coming toward her whom she recognized as a former SS guard from Ravensbrück—one who had been especially cruel. He did not recognize her but told her he had since become a Christian, that he knew God had forgiven him, and then held out his hand and asked, “Fraulein, will you forgive me?”
Corrie describes being flooded with memories of the humiliation in the showers, the pile of clothes, Betsie’s suffering, and feeling utterly unable, in herself, to forgive. Inwardly she prayed something like, “Jesus, I cannot forgive him. Give me Your forgiveness.” She then made the choice of her will to extend her hand. As she did, she says she felt a current run down her arm and a love for this former enemy that she knew did not come from her, and she heard herself say, “I forgive you, brother, with all my heart.”
She later drew two main lessons from this:
Forgiveness is an act of obedience and faith, not a feeling; the feelings often follow the decision.
God’s forgiveness of us in Christ is the source and pattern of our forgiveness of others, even in cases of extreme evil.
See Matthew 18:21-35

Wiley High School had an organization called “Why Islam” passing out hijabs, Qurans and pamphlets about Sharia law. Try doing that with a cross, a Bible, and a copy of the Declaration of Independence.
Americans need to stand against this cancer before it spreads anymore throughout our Constitutional Republic, built on Judeo-Christian values, not Sharia law. The Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.- -

The video "The Story of America: Forgotten Heroes of the American Revolution" highlights the contributions of African Americans to the American Revolution, emphasizing that the fight for independence was a collective effort despite the presence of slavery (2:27). The video acknowledges that slavery was an evil practice (1:25) but asserts that the Declaration of Independence's principles ultimately paved the way for its extinction (2:04).
The video focuses on several key figures:
Prince Estabrook (3:03): A slave who fought in the first shots of the Revolutionary War at Lexington, becoming the first African American to be wounded for the republic. He continued to serve for eight years and was freed at the war's end.
James Armistad Lafayette (3:47): A slave who became a double agent, infiltrating British camps and providing critical intelligence to Marquis de Lafayette, contributing significantly to the victory at Yorktown. He was later freed through Lafayette's personal advocacy.
Phillis Wheatley (5:03): The first African American to publish a book of poetry. Her works stirred patriotic consciousness by weaving classical learning with Christian hope, advocating for freedom with her pen.
Lemuel Haynes (6:10): The first African American ordained minister, a preacher, and a minute man. He played a role in capturing Fort Ticonderoga and later denounced slavery as a sin, emphasizing that America would not be truly free until it ended the practice.
The video concludes by stating that America's story is a "redemption story" (2:14) and that the ideals of the Declaration of Independence, though not immediately fully realized, ultimately led to the recognition of rights for all Americans (8:12). It emphasizes the shared heritage and duty to preserve the principles of the Declaration for future generations (9:19).

In this video, Trump announces a $10 billion U.S. donation (0:02) to the newly formed Board of Peace (0:03). He describes this amount as a "very small number" (0:16) compared to the cost of war, equating it to "two weeks of fighting" (0:24).
The donation aims to:
Bring lasting harmony to a region (0:34) that has suffered "centuries of war, suffering, and carnage" (0:36).
Inspire the settlement of other intractable conflicts (0:47), highlighting that many problems previously deemed "impossible to settle" (0:50) have been resolved quickly.
Heal "ancient wounds" (1:17) to make the "entire planet... a better, safer, more beautiful, and more peaceful place" (1:25) for everyone.
Trump also mentions working closely with the United Nations (1:31) to strengthen it and ensure its viability (2:11), stating that the Board of Peace will "almost be looking over the United Nations" (1:53) to ensure it runs properly.
