May freedom ring loud and clear.
This July we celebrate two hundred and fifty years of Freedom! During this month we don’t just light sparklers. But rather across our state we are lighting that old flame of Freedom! Liberty! and Patriotism! Here in Minnesota, we know the value of hard work and aren't afraid to show up to lend a helping hand. We continue to live out the American Spirit. Our country was made a reality by those who dared to dream, work and sacrifice for a better tomorrow, and that’s how we keep our State and Country free.
It’s time to take our country back. Back for faith, family, freedom, hard work, and honest conversation. Back to the simple truth that our rights come from God, not from government; and that We the People are responsible for what we leave to the next generation.
So let’s stand tall, fly our flag, speak with courage and teach our kids to love this land. We can't do everything but we all must do something! Our Country's future is in our hands. It only takes a spark of courage in truth to ignite a wave of patriotism! Let’s live out the American Spirit!
God bless Minnesota. God bless the United States of America. And may freedom ring today and every day!
