@4closureFraud@ZekeFrostwell@mattvanswol Yup. Did it with my kids when I homeschooled. You had to sign up for it and it was no longer advertised, but it never went away.
So sad to hear of the passing of our friend Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down. He had a one of kind beautiful voice and was a God loving kind hearted man to all he met. You will be missed by many brother. I know youโll be singing loud in that Angel choir. Rest in peace. ๐๐ผ๐๏ธ๐๐ผ
๐จALL OF THIS, EVERY WORD OF IT!
โI was raised to stand when the anthem played, hand over heart, eyes on the flag, not out of habit, but out of honor, because I knew what it meant to live in a place where freedom wasn't just a word, but a sacrifice.
America was never promised easy. She was promised free, and freedom has never been cheap. It's been bought in battlefield silence and folded flags, in tears on tarmacs and names etched in stone.
This country is stitched together with stories of people who kept showing up even when it got hard: farmers, soldiers, mothers working two jobs, kids who believed they could be anything, because here, you still can.
We are small towns and big cities, steel mills and skyscrapers, languages that sound different but still say, "This is home." And no, we're not perfect. We never have been. But perfection was never the goal. Progress was. Unity, even in the tension. Freedom, even in the mess.
Somewhere along the way, we started forgetting, started tearing down what generations before us gave everything to build. We argue louder than we listen. We cancel quicker than we understand. We treat patriotism like it's a problem when it's the very reason we get to speak at all.
This isn't about politics. This is about principle, about remembering that laws matter, that order matters, that borders mean something, that a country that stands for nothing will fall for anything.
But yet we still rise every time, because when the world shakes, we don't run. We rebuild. That's the America I know, the one that opens its arms but doesn't forget what it holds up, the one that bends but does not break.
So no, I won't apologize for being proud, for believing in the flag and what it stands for, for choosing country over chaos, honor over noise, hope over fear, because I've seen what this country can be when we stop fighting each other and start fighting for one another.
"We the people" still means all of us, but only if we act like it. So I'll keep standing, even if I'm standing alone, because America wasn't just built on power. She was built on resolve, and this is the country that I still believe inโ
After being in and out of the clouds the past few days, the summit fully cleared last night, treating our staff to a calm sunrise above the clouds. Dry and milder conditions are expected on the higher terrain into mid-next week. For more details, visit https://t.co/nTW5QhHNSU
