Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July have become quite commercialized today; retail sales and bargains are aplenty. But there’s a foundation of faith that started all of these well-known celebrations, even though advertisers have all but ignored their religious pasts. Bill Federer, Historian and best-selling author, breaks down the plethora of faith facts surrounding our nation’s biggest defining moments. The Revolutionary War and the Mother that nursed the wounded before field hospitals became the norm; the laying of crosses on the graves of Confederate Civil War Soldiers by Southern women to honor the war dead no matter enemy or friend. And the laws that formed America’s Birthday, the Founding Fathers knew, could only be upheld if each person in the Republic bowed down first to an Almighty God. America’s faith foundations formed the Greatest country in the world. Federer says, it’s future depends on that same strength of faith.
