John,

 

From unwavering heroism atop Mount Suribachi, to defiant resolve amidst the twisted, toppled frame of the World Trade Center, to the encapsulation of American ingenuity and grit on the surface of the moon, our flag has meant something profound to generations of Americans.

 

The flag has waved for freedom—the right to speak, worship, and pursue our dreams. It's stood for self-governance—that radically American idea that power belongs to the citizen. It's represented opportunity and duty—an obligation to leave this nation better for those who come after us.

 

But on this Flag Day, we must ask ourselves: what does our flag mean today?

We are at a turning point, where many in our nation seek a radically different meaning behind our flag. And while many of the principles our flag embodies have been eroded away through carelessness, the left has a calculated plan to erode the rest. The freedoms it once represented have been constrained. The self-determination it guarantees has been diminished by those more concerned with power than principle. 

 

Waving a flag is easy. Living by its principles is harder. It requires courage—the courage to fight for those freedoms, to defend those values, and to ensure that the flag continues to stand as a true symbol of liberty, opportunity, and the American greatness we all believe in for generations yet unborn.
