With 250 years behind us, I'm still asking myself what it means to be a good citizen.

We tend to think of citizenship as something dramatic or performative. But sometimes it's invisible.

Being a kind person and choosing not to inflict harm—that counts for a lot. (Like, a lot a lot.)

Being loud also has its place. ;)

I didn’t put the words “BOLD STAND” in my company name for nothing.

Freedom of speech is not taken for granted around here.

So, if you're feeling it...

Be Loud.
Be American.

Don’t let the bastards get you down.

Whether you skew loud or quiet, I support you.

And if at times you wane, remember...

Staying engaged is one of the best ways to honor your country.

Happy Birthday to us,

Kathleen
