It Starts With Us

Everybody loves posting about freedom when it’s popular.

But if we loved this country the other 364 days of the year the way we claim to today…

We wouldn’t be dealing with half the bullshit we’re dealing with.

Loving America isn’t a social media post.

It isn’t a T-shirt.

It isn’t a hashtag.

It’s how you live.

It’s having the courage to stand for what’s right when it’s unpopular.

It’s telling the truth when everyone else is too scared to speak.

It’s leading your family.

Leading your community.

Leading by example.

Enough with the silence.

Enough hiding because you’re afraid of what people might think.

Enough acting like somebody else is going to save this country.

Nobody is coming.

The responsibility belongs to every single one of us.

To you.

To me.

To all of us.

The generations before us sacrificed more than most of us can even imagine so we could enjoy the freedoms we have today.

The question is…

What are you willing to do to make sure the next generation gets the same opportunity?

I already know where I stand.

Take a hard look in the mirror today.

Because if you want America to become stronger…

You have to become stronger.

Strong families build strong communities.

Strong communities build a strong country.

It starts with you.

Happy Independence Day.
