I too do not believe that people should bet against America.
Not yet.
But the people who gamble the most on America are not its citizens.
It is its immigrants.
If they stop betting on America…Game Over.

Originally from Hilo, Hawai’i (at the time called “The Sandwich Islands”), Pitman was attending school in Boston when he decided to run away in August of 1862 and enlist in the 22nd Massachusetts (aka “Henry Wilson’s Regiment”).

One of the more poignant traditions unique to Hawai’i is the “manning of the rails” by members of the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, and Merchant Marine whenever a ship passes the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.
