This photo was taken at 5:15 AM in the morning near Mount Union, Pennsylvania. America has blessed me with the ability to stage parades and wave Old Glory since I was very young. The American idea which allows an individual to dream big never disappoints. Others have sacrificed their lives and comfort for my freedoms here. I owe it to them, their memory, and their families to continue to fly the flag of the United States boldly, bravely, and in all of its brilliance. Happy 250th America! Let’s continue to dream and to think big.
AMERICA’S INVITATION IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE YOUR STORY.
Join all Americans and share your story about your history and your hopes and dreams for the future of our country. Together, we will tell the American story through videos and the most inclusive commemoration in our history.
