On July 28, 2025, the White House published the Presidential Message on National Korean War Veterans Armistice Daypaying tribute to US heroes who fought to free South Korea from the combined forces of North Korea and Russia. The 38th parallel remains the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea. President Trump was the first sitting US President to cross the zone and enter North Korea to negotiate denuclearization, release of US hostages, and the return of US service member remains with the Communist Ruler of North Korea. The message concludes:
This National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, we honor the patriots who fought and died in Korea so that freedom might endure both on our land and beyond our shores. We vow to rebuild our military, support our veterans, and stand strong against forces of tyranny. Above all, we proudly remember every American hero who shed their blood to defend our home, our heritage, and our glorious way of life. Their valiant legacy will never be forgotten.
Also on July 28, 2025, the White House published the Fact Sheet: The United States and European Union Reach Massive Trade Dealin advance of publishing the EO. The Fact Sheet explains that this trade deal with the EU makes global history providing the US with unprecedented levels of market access to the EU, with the EU agreeing to purchase $750,000,000,000 of US energy and make investments in the US worth $600,000,000,000 by 2028. [RELATED:Energy is the new play.]
The White House thinks this deal will enable U.S. farmers, ranchers, fishermen, and manufacturers to increase U.S. exports, expand business opportunities, and help reduce the goods trade deficit with the European Union. The EU has agreed to a 15% tariff on everything (including autos and auto parts, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductors). However, there is still a 50% tariff on steel, aluminum, and copper. The EU has also agreed to streamline their burdensome EU requirements eliminating much of the "red tape" involved with importing/exporting, streamline sanitary certificates for US pork and dairy products, and purchase a significant amount of US military equipment.

Thomas married his first wife, Elizabeth Mathews, in 1772. She died in childbirth in 1782 in Philadelphia where Thomas while being swapped in a prisoner exchange. They had 7 children, but only 1 son lived to adulthood. He married again in 1786 to Elizabeth Savage. They had 4 children, 3 of whom lived to adulthood. DNA shows he impregnated at least one of his female slaves making him the grandfather of Thomas E. Miller, one of 5 African Americans elected to Congress in the 1890s.
In 1775 Thomas was elected to the Continental Congress. He has the honor of being the last delegate to sign the Declaration of Independence. In 1778, Thomas moved back to South Carolina where he served as a judge. There, he was judge in a case of treason where multiple people were convicted and executed within view of the British lines.
He served as a Captain of Artillery in the South Carolina Militia. During the battle at Beaufort in 1779, he received a gunshot wound. On August 27, 1780 Thomas was taken prisoner during the siege of Charleston by the British. On September 4, 1780, he was transported to St. Augustine, Florida where he remained for about 11 months. During his imprisonment, he changed the lyrics to God Save the King and called it God Save the States, Thirteen United States, God Save them Allas a parody. He was then freed in a prisoner exchange in 1782. They confiscated his slaves keeping 130 of them (worth about $50,000 at that time) who were transported to Jamaica to work in the sugar plantations by the British. It was because of this loss he was considered a 'martyr of the revolution.'
After his return to South Carolina, Thomas was an Associate Law Judge. Thomas also served as a delegate at the South Carolina Constitutional Convention and ratified the South Carolina Constitution. By 1785, he founded and served as first president of the South Carolina Agricultural Society. He retired in 1789, returning to his plantation.
Thomas died April 22, 1809 at age 63 (cause unknown) and buried next to his father in the family cemetery at Old House. The cemetery is a state-designated historic site located on South Carolina Route 336 in Jasper County, identified by a roadside historical marker. His grave includes a memorial stone and a bust of Thomas provided by South Carolina.
