Patriotism Alive And Well In Milford

This weekend I went out to meet and greet the local people here in town. This has become a tradition now since I began campaigning last August. This weekend was a rather special one, as it was the 4Th of July weekend.

Going door to door it was difficult not to notice the displays of patriotic items hanging from doors, (where wreaths once were) and the patriotic displays of U.S. flags. Milford celebrated the holiday with great patriotism and It was amazing at how many people communicated with me their love of our great nation.

This intense display of patriotism was not without its reason, many folks out there are celebrating this holiday, as not only their love for America, but also as a symbol emblematic of the concern for the grave issues that face our country. To see so many people so supportive of the American way of life was invigorating to me, it reminded me of the kind of energy and enthusiasm only seen at our local sports arenas.

This fourth the city of Milford has really gone all out with their patriotism, this cheer, in my opinion, ought to be directed toward our local, national, and state leaders who are the star players on this emblematic field of freedom. The people of Milford are doing their best, to not only decorate their house but to encourage all of us, who believe and work in government, and have the power and authority to abate the challenges now imposed upon us all, to fight harder on their behalf.

To any and all local politicians who may read this blog, remember that this holiday those flags were flying in an effort to cheer you on; to go out and remember the very people who vote for you. They live under the expectation that laws will be made to solve the very problems that hinder the quality of life of so many people.
