Nerds!!!!!’ #SMH2026

3 American Revolution panels at #SMH2026 today! Is it an anniversary?

Really proud of my former student Brynne Long delivering a great talk on POWs on the frontier during the Revolution. (Not reading, and commanding the room!) #smh2026

Back to back Revolution panels at #SMH2026 with @herreramilhist.bsky.social, Brynne Long, Holly Mayer, Tim Hemmis, Susannah Haury

The Revolutionary War on Land and Sea (and Not Air) leading off #SMH2026, featuring @phdiggity.bsky.social @awilks.bsky.social & Chris Magra. Had fun chairing this one, especially the fiery Q&A

Better up the security on this auction #hatm

War Machine was solid, it’s clearly Predator with a robot (right down to escaping over a waterfall). Still worth watching, and set up well for a sequel Alan Ritchson is one of the few believable action stars out there. #hatm

RIP Chuck Norris #hatm

Hello, I’d like to report tyranny at the corner of Bute and Dunmore

That’s quite the headline for Caesar Rodney who went on a “midnight ride” to Philadelphia to vote for independence (breaking a deadlock for Delaware) and then became a signer of the Declaration of Independence during the commemorations for the 250th anniversary

On the latest episode of #JAWbone podcast we consider the past, present, and future of the Society for Military History when we interview VP Bryon Greenwald #SMH podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...

Happy Evacuation Day! 250 years ago today, the Continental Army under the command of General George Washington forced the British military to flee Boston. John Adams proposed a gold medal be presented by Congress. It was the first award America ever presented to a soldier (it just took 14 years).

Seeing 1776 in the sovereign colony of Virginia

My second grader just won states in a national art competition in the literature category. She'll be moving on to the national level as a representative for Virginia!

To mark the day after Washington's Birthday, listen to the latest episode of #JAWBone on the presidency of the man who tried to follow him...#JohnAdams * Granted, he did pretty good on following the peaceful transition of power. #RankingThePresidents podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Canada outplayed the US yesterday, that’s true. They should have won. But unfortunately for Canada, Team USA scored more goals and gave up fewer goals. So in the words of Gunnar Stahl…

The men and women of Team USA have taken Canada’s gold….and with it…their power! #olympics

Team USA is unbeatable on George Washington’s Birthday!

MVP

Hughes Win!!!!’ #USA

SHOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! #teamUSA

Stop passing! SHOOT! #teamUSA

Matt Boldy with an all-time goal!

What does George Washington want for his birthday? A Team USA gold medal #Olympics

This was a great hire! An important hire!

Taught multiple classes of different grades of elementary school today on Washington and the Revolution. So naturally I needed an assortment of different teaching aids!

Tage Thompson’s shot should be nicknamed the Patriot Missile #olympics

USA, USA, USA

USA!

Never thought of the navy blazer & khakis as Washingtonian before! #GeorgeWashington was indeed a fashionista & known for being the only man to wear his uniform in Congress. Guess it's only natural that he inspired American men's all-purpose "dress uniform." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

“Hughes Win for USA in OT” - someone’s headline shortly
