Good morning my DU family,

I came to America from Germany to live on July 4th, 1976.
It was cool and all, but most importantly, it reminded me that I was in the greatest country in the world. I was born a citizen abroad.
Today, in Spirit, I volunteer to carry the Flag and all that it represents for a metaphysical block on our collective march for America and will do so with the enthusiasm of someone who didn't always have the freedoms he has now.
Please have a day filled with passion, love, reflection, honor, respect and reverence, for each other, our way of life, our country and of course, our souls as we uniformly show who we really are.
Be safe, thank you , and with all the love and hope inside me, be safe and loud!
Love, your fellow American

I hope you're wrong and that millions of younger Americans join us old farts and learn what they're fighting for.
Be safe and have a fun time doing this urgent and important job today.
