On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution stating that the national flag should consist of 13 alternating red and white stripes and 13 white stars on a blue field to represent a new constellation.

America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress,
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!

O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country love
And mercy more than life!

America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

Oh beautiful for halcyon skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress,
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
Till paths be wrought through wilds of thought
By pilgrims foot and knee!

Oh beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife,
When once and twice for man’s avail
Men lavished precious life!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
Till selfish gain no longer strain
The banner of the free!

O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years,
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!

America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!

by Katherine Lee Bates; (1859-1929) Inspired by a trip to Pikes Peak in 1893.

Joplin 44 Celebrates Grand Reopening on June 13th with Community Event

JOPLIN, MO… Joplin 44, Missouri’s Largest Truckstop, invites professional drivers, the community, and members of the media to attend our Grand Reopening celebration on Saturday, June 13th, 2026 from 11 am to 3 pm at Joplin 44 Petro in Joplin, Missouri. The free event is open to the public and will showcase the newly refreshed facility with tours, a car show, bounce houses, and more.
“This grand reopening marks an exciting new chapter for Joplin 44,” said Jason Spindler, general manager of the facility, “We’re proud to welcome guests back to experience the improvements we’ve made.” The construction project added nearly 32,000 square feet of space to Joplin 44 as well as 20 Tesla Super Chargers to the parking lot. The facility, which already housed several fast-serving restaurants Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, and Dairy Queen, added a Starbucks and a McDonalds to available options. Black Bear Diner, a full-service restaurant with a homestyle-cooking menu, opened in late May of this year.
Joplin 44 has long served as a destination for travelers and professional drivers, offering quality amenities, dining options, and services designed to enhance the travel experience of those traveling on interstate 44. Join us to celebrate the new look of Joplin 44 on Saturday, June 13th from 11 am to 3 pm at Joplin 44 Petro, 4240 State Route 43, Joplin, MO 64803.
