Now more than ever, we are summoned as a people and a nation to answer what it means to be a “patriot”. Defining this key word and concept in a passionate, just way is the difference between empowering our path to greatness or blocking it. Sharing a narrative as a nation anchored in what patriotism truthfully is, and galvanizing our peers and the young men and women of this nation to work for that balanced patriotism is what we must strive to do with the urgency this moment demands of us.
