“Show the Colors” – It has been so encouraging during these times to see across the district the display of the American flag in so many different forms. Whether it has been a sticker in the window, a red, white and blue banner, or the flag as it waived in the breeze, we share a love for America and are proud to display “Old Glory”. As we honor the fallen and fly our flags at half-staff this week, let us remember those who protect and defend us daily. Please pray for our troops and their families. And please encourage your family, friends and neighbors to join us as we show the colors in many ways and continue to ask for God to bless America.
-Jeff
