The Write Team Daily: "The Guns Went Silent" (April 11, 2026)

On this episode of The Write Team Daily, we step back to April 11, 1783—a pivotal moment when the guns of the American Revolution finally fell silent and the promise of independence became reality. 🇺🇸 From the end of war to the birth of a nation, we reflect on how this historic declaration shaped the future of the United States. We also celebrate notable birthdays, including physician James Parkinson, groundbreaking chemist Percy Lavon Julian, and Sony co-founder Masaru Ibuka, along with others who left lasting marks on history. Then, we remember influential lives lost on this day—from Joseph Merrick, known as the “Elephant Man,” to author Kurt Vonnegut and comedy legend Jonathan Winters. Finally, we close with today’s inspiration from Acts 5:19–20, reminding us of the power of consistent faith and daily obedience. 🎧 Join us as we explore the people, moments, and messages that continue to shape our world. A special thanks to our Write Team Family of sponsors: Elysian Fields ISD, Hallsville ISD, Karnack ISD, Stiles Electric, and Write Team Services. ❤️
