Every time we salute the flag, every time we stand up for freedom, every time we defend truth, America roars back to life. In anticipation of 250 years of this great nation, my hope is that we choose to light the spark that turns embers into wildfires. That we unite and echo the words of John Adams when he said, “I am a revolutionary so my son can be a farmer, so his son can be a poet—but first we must be Americans.”
