Are you ready for Pride Month? That’s American Patriot Pride, or APP+ for short. This is a month-long celebration of America’s greatness that starts on June 4 and concludes on July 4 with patriotic festivities across the United States.

America is filled with Patriots who love our country and appreciate that, while our history has moments of regret, we remain a glorious and unique constitutional republic founded on Judeo-Christian principles. So, my fellow American patriots, from June 4 to July 4, let’s celebrate American Patriot Pride Month!
