Stay tuned! Although the live updates have finished, I will be posting pictures of the different protests that were along the route!

(If your town doesn't get a shout out, it just means I don't have photos yet)

Thanks again for being along this journey!

The Flag (flown over the Capitol, given to a WWII vet who stormed the beaches of Normandy, & now has journeyed Rt 7 in Vermont as a symbol of hope, freedom, and democracy)- is in Swanton for the final closing ceremony.

Let's show the world America can still be Land of the Free & Home of the Brave

Freedom is the soul of democracy, of America... Freedom of speech, worship, press & assembly.

It's the power to elect leaders, to question them, & to replace them. It shows in quiet courage, chants for justice & peace at protests, & the enduring promise that this nation belongs to all its people.

The last live update will be when the flag reaches Swanton for the closing ceremony. Thankyou all for joining us in this journey.

This flag day, we share the message, "We haven't wanted Kings in America since 1776 and we still don't want one"

4pm- the flag is in Highgate Springs, the end of Rt-7, the closest we can get it to the Canadian border on this journey.

From here, it will head to the closing ceremony in Swanton, VT.
