Christ House, the Washington respite care ministry for homeless patients, traces its origins to nineteen seventy six... when Allen and Janelle Goetcheus abandoned plans to serve as missionaries in Pakistan after witnessing the scale of poverty and homelessness in the nation's capital. Janelle... a physician... saw that hospitals often discharged uninsured patients before they'd fully recovered... leaving them to recuperate on the streets. She and Allen... a United Methodist minister... joined five others from the Church of the Savior to found Christ House... which opened its doors to its first patient on Christmas Eve... nineteen eighty five... after an anonymous two point five million dollar donation funded the purchase and renovation of a building on Columbia Road Northwest.

Extreme heat (record 102°F, heat index up to 113°F) and then thunderstorms hit Washington over the July 4th weekend. The heat forced D.C. to cancel its annual parade and temporarily shut down the "Great American State Fair" on the National Mall — dozens of people needed medical treatment, several were hospitalized. Then, just as the "Salute to America" event was getting underway Saturday evening, a thunderstorm rolled in and the Secret Service ordered an evacuation, sending thousands of attendees to shelter in nearby Smithsonian buildings and Metro stations for a couple of hours.

When we asked Americans what makes them proud of the U.S., freedom was the most common answer.
Fascism: "A strong nation restored through unity, strength, and decisive leadership."
Communism: "An economically just society achieved through revolutionary state power and collective ownership."
Democracy: "Freedom and self-government through equal political participation, protected rights, and accountable institutions."

I am honored and humbled to be an American citizen and to have been of service for USA.
