June 14 is Flag Day.

It marks the day in 1777 when the Second Continental Congress adopted the American flag as the official flag of the United States.

Since then, the flag has become more than a symbol. It represents the freedoms we enjoy, the unity of our nation, and the sacrifice of the men and women who have served to protect it.

Every stripe tells part of the story.
Every star represents a state in the union.
And every time we raise the flag, we are reminded that freedom has always come at a cost.

Flag Day is a chance to pause and reflect on what the American flag stands for courage, service, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of this country.

At TVP, we believe the flag should always point us back to gratitude. Gratitude for those who served. Gratitude for those we’ve lost. And gratitude for the freedoms we should never take for granted.

🇺🇸 Today, we Honor the flag and all it represents.

We will accept nothing less than full victory!”
