SERVICE

I’ve been trying to put into words what I saw last night.

What struck me most wasn’t the fight, the venue, or the people in attendance.

For one night, the focus was on veterans, service members, first responders, and the men and women who have dedicated their lives to something bigger than themselves. I honestly can’t remember ever seeing an event of that scale centered around honoring them.

As I walked away, one thought stayed with me.

Of all the things I’ve accomplished in my life, the greatest honor I’ve ever earned is knowing that one day, when my time comes, an American flag will be draped over my body.

Not because of who I am, but because of what that flag represents.

Freedom. Opportunity. Love. Faith. Good.

When I think about last night, that’s what it was really about.

A country honoring those who have served it, and a reminder that there is no greater privilege than earning the right to be covered by the flag of the nation you love.

Thank you, President @realDonaldTrump , for opening the White House and creating an opportunity for so many Americans to come together and celebrate this country and the people who have dedicated their lives to serving it.

God Bless America. 🇺🇸
