Good morning my dear friends in Christ!

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:" - II Timothy 4:7

They called him Old Hickory because of his tenacity and grit. His mother chose the name Andrew on March 15, 1767, when she gave birth to him in an old run-down shack somewhere in South Carolina. He was a wild, quick-tempered boy who had no interest in school. At the age of 13, Andrew answered the call for soldiers to come fight against the British.

I never knew that about Andrew Jackson.

Good morning to you Brinny. If I remember correctly, he rejected the globalist bankers and setting up the Federal Reserve. Out of spite they put him on the $20 bill. PGIF! Hope you have a blessed Friday!
