Our flag represents a republic — of, by, and for the people — endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights.
It exists not for power, but for the betterment of our people and, through that, all of mankind.
It stands as a light in the darkness — not because we believe we are better than others, but because we remember where we came from, what it cost, and what it means to carry that torch forward.
It is both a guide for those who follow… and a reminder for us.
A reminder to keep our history close.
Pinned not just to our uniforms, but to our hearts.
So that we show mercy when it is needed.
Kindness when it is deserved.
And resolve when it is required.
Because the tree of liberty is not nourished by comfort or convenience —
but by the blood of the brave and the unselfish who stood when others would not.
