We are many, and while we often disagree, we unite today, on this Flag Day, under the Stars and Stripes. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this morning’s act of violence in our nation’s capital.

“I am what you make me; nothing more. I swing before your eyes a bright gleam of color, a symbol of yourself.” Franklin K. Lane’s (Secretary of the Interior) remarks on Flag Day in 1914

May we all strive to be the very best of ourselves.
