The month of June has been overrun by flags that seek to divide, not unite, Americans. These colorful flags purposely exclude many people. Our American flag represents the hope and promise of a nation founded on liberty and opportunity for ALL.

The month of June has been overrun by new flags that seek to divide, not unite, Americans, but the Stars-and-Stripes is an all-inclusive symbol that does not discriminate on the basis of religion, sex, race, national origin, disability, education, or money.

Celebrate the beauty of fidelity this month, especially on June 14, when Americans commemorate our fidelity to the Flag of the United States of America. The opposite of fidelity is pride. Let’s give generously of ourselves to others this month!
