Today, we take a moment to reflect on one of the most pivotal moments in modern history - the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On this day, 20 years ago, thousands of innocent lives were lost, and countless more were forever changed. As we remember the victims, their families, and the first responders who risked everything to save others, we honor their memory by continuing to strive for a world where such tragedies are never repeated. The aftermath of 9/11 showed us the worst of humanity, but it also brought out the best. We saw strangers become heroes, communities come together, and a nation unite in the face of adversity. Take a moment today to pause, reflect, and remember the lives lost on 9/11. May their memory live on and may we continue to strive for a brighter future for generations to come. #NeverForget #September11 #Remembering911

Why Provenance is Key: Uncovering the True Value of Historical Firearms In the world of firearm collecting, provenance is everything. Knowing the story behind a firearm—who owned it, where it’s been, and how it was used—adds depth to the piece and significantly enhances its value. A documented history can turn an otherwise ordinary firearm into a priceless collectible. When a firearm has clear records, such as military issue stamps or certificates tying it to specific historical figures or events, its appeal skyrockets. Provenance gives collectors a glimpse into its journey through time, making it more than just a weapon; it’s a tangible link to history. For collectors, provenance is an investment in authenticity and historical significance. Firearms with well-documented histories don’t just hold their value—they appreciate over time. Collectors know they’re acquiring not just a firearm but a legacy, with each piece carrying a story that keeps history alive. #FirearmProvenance #CollectibleFirearms #HistoricalWeapons #FirearmHistory #CollectorsEdition #MilitaryCollectibles #AntiqueFirearms #WeaponCollecting #HistoricalArtifacts #RareFirearms #CollectingHistory #LegacyWeapons #AuthenticArtifacts #FirearmInvestments #CulturalHeritage #ValuableHistory #HistoricFirearms #CollectorCommunity #WeaponProvenance #PreservingHistory

Alarming recent revelations have surfaced regarding two members of the Virginia Army National Guard—Staff Sgts. Daniel Abbott and Alexandra Griffeth, actively leading a county-approved militia making direct threats against the government they are sworn to protect. The Campbell County Militia, led by Abbott, openly promotes anti-government rhetoric and violence, in direct violation of established rules. Both Abbott and Griffeth, serving as noncommissioned officers within the Guard, have access to military resources, raising concerns about national security and the dangerous intersection between military service and extremist movements. The presence of individuals like Abbott and Griffeth within the military poses a significant threat when they misuse their position to promote anti-government ideologies. Our military, founded on principles of integrity and service, cannot tolerate actions that undermine the government they are sworn to defend. The militia's local approval exacerbates the issue, shedding light on broader systemic challenges that demand attention. It is crucial to remain vigilant and ensure accountability among military and local officials. Extremism has no place in the armed forces. #VeteransAgainstExtremism #NationalSecurity #Extremism #USArmy #PoliticalViolence #LeadershipMatters

This is classified as a force multiplier, citizens are no longer helpless victims. We have seen how police/military responses can be slow during terror attacks in different parts of the world. Instead of staying with the old philosophy of "run, hide, tell". Some people have adopted the updated philosophy of "run, hide, tell, fight". #linkedtopvoices #shinbet #mossad #idf #militaryintelligence #waronterror #terrorism #yamam #counterterrorism #intelligence #counterintelligence #surveillance #countersurveillance #runhidetellfight #hamas #israel #iran #signalsintelligence #humanintelligence

"His attack plan involved using flame-covered weapons, explosives, knives, a machete, a pipe and ultimately firearms," the investigator added. "His plan grew more precise as he eventually identified the specific church and date on which he planned to attack." I can't help but ask myself, "what helped him identify the specific church"? Did it have something to do with the church being an easy target due to lack of security? Is your place of worship an easy target? Don't be any easy target for criminals or extremist! Faithful Defender Foundation was founded to help religious organizations address these very issues.

Tips for Starting a Collection of Historical Combat Weapons Starting a collection of historical combat weapons can be an exciting and rewarding journey, but it requires careful planning and knowledge. The first step is to research the specific types of weapons you’re interested in, whether it’s swords, knives, or firearms. Understanding their historical context, origin, and significance is essential before making any purchase. Next, focus on authenticity and condition. Look for weapons with verifiable provenance, such as documentation or marks that confirm their history. Condition plays a critical role in a weapon's value, so ensure that any piece you're considering is well-preserved, even if it shows signs of age. Finally, be patient. Building a meaningful collection takes time, and finding quality pieces can require persistence. Connect with other collectors, attend auctions, and stay informed about the market trends to build a collection that is both valuable and historically significant. #WeaponCollecting #HistoricalWeapons #CombatWeapons #AntiqueWeapons #KnifeCollectors #SwordCollection #MilitaryHistory #WeaponCollectors #CollectibleWeapons #WeaponInvesting #WeaponArt #FirearmCollecting #HistoricalArtifacts #WeaponPassion #CollectorsCommunity #MilitaryArtifacts #KnifeEnthusiast #BladesOfHistory #TacticalKnives #SwordsOfHistory #CollectingTips
