The answer is simple. Carry your love for your country in your heart and mind every minute of every day. Don’t be afraid to say, “I am an American.” Take a moment every day to honor our flag and those who came down this hard and difficult path to freedom before us. Know that you are not alone.
These need not be the dark days when those who would destroy our Constitution and our way of life seek to take charge of our destiny; instead, these can be the bright days when we come to the realization that we can take our country back and the understanding that the price we must pay for freedom is, as the saying goes, eternal vigilance.
There is strength in numbers. The simple act of wearing our colors in public will not only give us comfort in our patriotism but will identify us to others who share our love of country. By colors, I mean something as simple as an American flag as a lapel button or a red, white and blue cap. Yes, some idiot will give you a negative comment, but the best response is a simple, “Yes, I am an American. Do I assume that you are not?”
I have found wide acceptance in my patriotism. There have been countless people who have said to me that they didn’t know what they could do to help us to get our country back. Everyone’s time is limited, but wearing your patriotism and your beliefs requires no time and it makes the message clear. Again I say, we do not need to bow our heads in shame because we are Americans.
When those who wish to overthrow our government see enough patriots wearing their patriotism on their shirts, blouses and caps, they will get our message. And, by standing together and wearing the colors, we identify ourselves as being one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
What a great beginning in the renewal of our nation and the understanding of who we are, where we came from and where we are going. Together, we can do this. We can, we must, and we will.
That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
