Haym Salomon, a wealthy Jewish financier from Philadelphia, played a significant role in supporting the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. According to historical accounts, George Washington asked Salomon what he would like as a personal reward for his services. Salomon reportedly requested nothing for himself but desired something for his people. This led to the arrangement of 13 stars in the shape of a Star of David on the United States dollar bill.
Salomon's financial contributions amounted to $25 million, which was crucial in aiding America's fight for freedom and independence from England. Despite his generous support, Salomon died impoverished. His story is often untold in American history education, leaving many unaware of his contributions.
The narrative emphasizes the importance of remembering America's foundational values and recognizing those who have sacrificed for its freedom. The message concludes with a call to action to preserve these values and acknowledges divine trust as central to America's identity.
Pastor Cleddie and Gaynell express gratitude for trust and love, encouraging others to learn about the symbolism on the U.S. dollar bill and its historical significance.
