American Patrol Report -- June 29
Tomorrow, Saturday, June 30, American volunteers will gather at the border in Arizona to place thousands of personalized flags on a sign that reads SAVE THE UNITED STATES. The flags will join more than 10,000 on a sign from last Independence Day that read SECURE THE BORDER. Each had a note attached from an American citizen expressing a thought about the border and ABP.
American Border Patrol has extra flags and tags. If you send an e-mail to info@americanborderpatrol.com with your own thought or message, the volunteers will put it on a tag and attached it to a flag and place it on the sign.
Go ahead, do it --- and spread the word. |
