We are grateful to all of you who came! Thank you for taking a day with your children to learn about our government, honor God in the public arena, and show our legislators that we will stand together to maintain our liberty.

We are thankful to God for the freedom He has granted us. May we be faithful to preserve it.

“Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples!” Psalm 105:1
