How the U.S. Army was born - and a free nation realized
A relic of the American Revolution is delicately ushered into the National Museum of the United States Army, at Fort Belvoir, Va. It's the First Rhode Island Regimental Flag. "And if it could talk, the stories it would tell," said Paul Morando, who has spent four years putting together this exhibit to honor the Army's 250th anniversary. The flag – so faded you could hardly tell it's a flag – was at Valley Forge, and then carried by soldiers at Yorktown. "This flag has not left the state of Rhode Island since 1784," said Morando. "We actually had to change the law to allow this flag to come out of the state and be put on display." The First Rhode Island Regiment's flag, brought to the National Museum of the United States Army, to be part of its exhibit, "Call to Arms: The Soldier and the Revolutionary War." CBS News As precious as the flag may be, what catches the eye is the life-like figures of real people who won the war for America's independence. "Our focus is on the individual soldiers' experience, what they sacrificed and why they fought," said Morando. Beginning with Sylvanus Wood, who fought the British at Lexington and Concord – the famous "Shot Heard 'Round the World." "It's the moment of no return," said Morando. "We are in it now, and it's only going to get worse after this." Crown Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson has just published "The Fate of the Day," the second volume of his planned trilogy on the Revolutionary War, beginning when American militiamen took the field at Lexington and Concord. "It's the beginning of the war; it's the beginning of the country, actually," Atkinson said. "They are weekend warriors. They are soldiers who turn out once every few weeks to practice the manual of arms, to learn how to load a musket." They were facing British forces – professional soldiers with professional officers. Atkinson said of the King's military, "Men enlist in the army for life, usually. So, these are troops that know their business." The headline in the local paper called what happened next "Bloody butchery." "It's a long, brutal day for both sides, but particularly for the British," Atkinson said. "There are bodies all the way from Concord to Boston." The Americans had sent a message. "The Americans show that even though they're not the professional force that the British are, that they know how to fight, they know how to use weapons, and they know how to kill," Atkinson said. Two months later, the Continental Congress voted to replace the part-time militias with a full-time army. Why, if the militias had given the British more than they could handle, was an army necessary? "For one thing, they've got jobs," Atkinson said. "They're farmers, they're tradesmen. They've got families to take care of. You need to make this army into a force that can take on the British full-time." It was June 14, 1775, the birth date of the United States Army. It would be, Atkinson said, "the central institution that is going to determine whether or not the United States of America really does become a country." The commander of the new army is known today as the father of our country. Morando said, "It's hard to imagine what the Revolutionary War would have been like without George Washington." Atkinson called Washington "the indispensable man," based on "his ability to stay the course, to believe in the cause, to transmit his belief in the cause to the soldiery." Washington told his troops: "The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage and conduct of this army." "He's got a vision – he refers to generations yet unborn," Atkinson said. "That would be us." In the summer of 1776, the Declaration of Independence was just a piece of parchment. Said Morando, "It was up to our soldiers to fight and secure that independence." In New York, a British force of 32,000 attacked Washington's new American Army – the first battle after the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Morando said, "A lot is riding on this. He understands that if he loses this battle, he possibly could lose the war and the revolution itself." The British troops came ashore on Long Island, where Washington had dug in. "The British devise a plan in which they outflank him," said Atkinson. "It's a catastrophe. He nearly loses the whole game at this point." Washington barely escaped with his army, retreating across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. He wrote to his brother: "I think the game is pretty near up." I asked, "What's so 'indispensable' about that performance?" Atkinson replied, "People were beginning to wonder, frankly, does this guy have the right stuff? He's going to show that, among other things, he's very bold, and when he is desperate, he's dangerous." In an act of daring immortalized in American history, Washington crossed back over the Delaware and caught the enemy by surprise. The British had lost their chance to destroy the American Army, and Washington would fight on for seven more years. B.J. Ervik directed a team of artists who recreated the sacrifice of those years, down to the bloody knuckles of Sergeant Major William Seymour recording the day's events in his journal. Ervik said, "I think that's a very reflective moment for somebody who might have just been in battle for a few days, and has a moment to reflect on what he's doing in life and what is happening around him." A figure representing Sergeant Major William Seymour, in a diorama at the National Museum of the United States Army. CBS News Retired Army Lt. Col. Alayne Conway posed for the figure of Anna Lane, handing a cartridge to her wounded husband. Passing the ammunition, you can see in her eyes the British are coming. "Wow! It's pretty powerful," said Conway. "I really see how strong she was." A figure representing Anna Maria Lane, who fought alongside her husband, John Wood, and was recognized for her military service. CBS News Leaders of today's Army got a VIP tour of their origin story, leading up to an audio-visual display of the battle at Yorktown, Virginia, where British troops finally surrendered. Dismissed early in the war as amateurs, the soldiers of the American Army withstood every hardship and challenge – and stood victorious. Through 1,300 battles and skirmishes, the Army had outlasted the British Empire. As American Major General Nathaniel Greene was quoted as saying, "We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again." Atkinson said, "One of the lessons we should take from the Revolution is we're capable of doing extraordinary things and overcoming extraordinary odds to get where we want to go." I asked, "It was nasty, brutish, and long. Should we so revere this war?" "I think we should revere what came out of it, and we should revere the sacrifices that went into it," Atkinson replied. "The creation of the American Republic – it's one of mankind's greatest achievements. And how can we not be proud of that?" The last thing one sees upon leaving this exhibit is a quote from Founding Father John Adams, and it is addressed to us: "You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it." READ AN EXCERPT: "The Fate of the Day" by Rick Atkinson For more info: Story produced by Mary Walsh. Editor: George Pozderec.

Tires – Season 2 Episode 12 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
At What Cost Ronald Dobbins, Winston cup champion and local drunk, shows up at the auto-shop just when things couldn't be any worse. Turns out Phil has paid him to go and do a meet and greet with customers, but he winds up getting served instead. Will has enough problems though, given True Thread have come along and screwed them completely. Will is in the dumps abut this and left with nothing despite putting all his money and effort into Valley Forge. Interestingly though, we learn that there's a sales rep at True Thread who has been taking bribes, but all of this is overshadowed by Ron smashing up Cal's car. What does Trish recommend they do? After Ron is served with a DUI (and a trending video online about how he hates True Thread), the future of Valley Forge is still hanging in the balance. The company are behind on payments and Will's stress is reaching boiling point. Not quite to the same temperature as the whiteboard drawing of the staff dying in lava, but hot nonetheless. Phil is here too and he listens as Will explains that True Thread have them on probation for a year, so no one else is going to allow them to sell at cost. Their entire business model is in the toilet and they need to figure this out. They only have 3 or 4 months left, but Will wants to bring in a consultant, Trish, to figure out what to do next. Trish speaks to Phil plainly and gets down to brass tacks, believing they need to significantly cut back on staff. Phil needs to close one of the stores, and Trish suggests they could be bought out by a bigger company too. She also advises they let Will go, given his large salary. Do Shane and Kelly get together? Shane arrives at Andiamo's and tries to strike up a deal with the guys. In exchange for getting a new car, he offers up 10% off the services over at Valley Forge for all their cars. They eventually agree to a 'fleet account', prompting Shane to head over and see Kelly. In fact, he does the rounds and manages to drum up a good amount of business. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for his personal life. Unfortunately, it also comes at the cost of his potential relationship with Kelly. He walks in on her and Ollie kissing. He thinks she's cheated on him but of course they're not together and never have been. She looks at him as a walking red flag and doesn't accept his flowers either. Meanwhile, Cal finds out that his car is completely screwed, and without insurance, he's going to have to pay for the costs. Cal is contemplating leaving and heading over to another auto-shop to work though and when Will finds out, he's shocked and frantic to try and keep him onboard. It's Shane who manages to convince Cal otherwise, leveraging his deal with Andiamo to get him his car. How does Tires season 2 end? Linking back to the start of the series, Shane can't find his gun and while this is all laughs and smiles, Shane says goodbye to Jerome the turtle outside. He does so with Phil, and the pair attempt to reconcile with their son. They struggle to get their words out though, and while they don't outright say it, it's clear that everybody here is in this together. Will opens the shop for another day, unsure what the future holds, but knowing that whatever they're faced with, they'll go through it hell or high water. The Episode Review So the ending for Tires leaves things wide open for where this could potentially go next. The business is not in a great spot but Shane steps up and actually shows some good business acumen to convince these accounts to come onboard. This is, of course, a nice nod to the first episode where Will was convinced that Shane would be a great manager. The knock-on effect of all this of course is that it gets their marketing budget down, but it's also clear that the business may not make it in the long-haul either. Shane finally does get to have an important chat with his father, and while there's more unspoken than anything else, it's a nice way of at least giving them some closure and acknowledging the issues they've had across the season. Its certainly been a tumultuous ride and this chapter does hark back to earlier jokes, like the issue with the gun. Of course, Tires is still an acquired taste and very much one of those shows you'll either love or loathe, depending on your humour. However, there's plenty left in the gas tank for a potential third season based on what's here.
