I am hosting a PEACE RALLY on June 14, Flag Day from noon to 3 p.m. for anyone who believes we need peace in our country, our counties and our cities. We want to see respect for the American Flag, Veterans, Police, and respect for our country. Many Americans are upset by the hatred and disrespect displayed for America, the American Flag, the symbol of our great nation. I am saddened by the violence, the protests, the antisemitic violence displayed on college campuses. I am even more saddened that God has been removed from our schools, our cities, and even the Pledge of Allegiance. Our founding fathers fought, died and sacrificed all for our freedom, our nation and our right to worship. Lately, on the news, in the papers, on the internet, all I see is a nation divided. It is time to stand up for our Country, and not tear it apart. My RALLY is for peace and love to return to our nation. Please attend to show support for the USA, the American Flag, the return of God and return of Patriotism. If you are a church or Christian organization or just believe in peace in Alpena, Montmorency, Alcona and Rogers City, and would like to set up a booth to get your message out there, you are welcome to do so. Bring your U.S. flag. God will prevail over darkness and hatred and will shine a light on our nation.
