Sweet, sweet victory for Gainesville, Texas! What an honor to be named the most Patriotic Small town in the USA. Please take a moment to reflect on what this truly means. Our town has shown true spirit by coming together to share our pride and patriotism with America. Revel in the spotlight, take in the glory, but always remember those who have sacrificed so that we may live free in our great town. Congratulations and thanks to the Chamber and all the residents of Gainesville for your hard work and efforts. This is truly spectacular.
I love that so many people gathered at your store to celebrate. I found it very emotional when they announced the winner and am so proud of Gainesville. Mark and I have made some great friends here and we appreciate how this community can come together and achieve greatness. If we dream it we can make it happen! Thanks for the B-Day wishes.
Yesterday when the results were announced via live streaming, people immediately started flooding into the store to hug and celebrate. That spirit of community and celebrating eachother’s successes, regardless of our backgrounds or political beliefs, is what patriotism is all about for me. We are a family and I very well may be the crazy aunt, but my neighbors still come by to give me a high five and I give one right back. The flags and bunting are vibrant and make for beautiful photos, but the real representation of patriotism is on our hearts.
Happy Birthday, L. What a way to celebrate!
