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.
