National Loyalty Day

The day has been May 1st since every US president since 1955 has set the date. Any of them, whether they call for Americans to raise the flags, pray, or reflect on their roots, each of them acknowledges that the country must be united in our basic ideals. Their messages convey both loyalty and liberty in equal measure, particularly those who serve in the military. And although the messages may differ on certain topics, the main messages remain the same.
