Fly the W

Posted March 25, 2020 1:00 am

OK. So we are locked in. We are locked out. The Hallmark Channel is rerunning Christmas movies. We are in Illinois. But what is important is "we." Churchill's speech in 1940 was, "We shall fight with growing confidence and strength ... shall fight on the fields and in the streets ... we shall never surrender."

We are Americans. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave. We shall overcome. Now that we are home and brave, we can help those of us without jobs. We can check on our most vulnerable the elderly. We can stop hoarding. We can band together and be strong.

To support "we" get out those white flags with the W on them. Fly the W. Whether you are a Cubs fan or a Sox fan (or, God forbid, a Cardinals fan), we are in this fight together. Every Walmart, Target, Walgreens is still selling them. Fly the W. We will support each other. We will win. We are America.

We have defeated every foreign invader or agent that has tried to attack us. We shall overcome this together. Fly the W. Its going to be one heck of a celebration when we win.
