Happy New Year! Today is the beginning of the year 2026. Traditionally, people make a list of New Year’s Resolutions such as losing weight, conquering a fear, getting a better job, volunteering more, drinking less, quitting smoking, etc.
But this year is special. This is the year that America turns 250 years old! I come from a long line of veterans and I am a veteran, myself, so America holds a very special place in my heart. Therefore, this year, my list of resolutions will have a more patriotic theme. Below, you will find my list of Patriotic Resolutions. And, as I accomplish them, I will be sharing the results on this blog, so stay tuned!
Oscar Wilde said, “A New Year’s Resolution is something that goes in one year and out the other.” I may not accomplish every resolution on my list, but I know that every one that I do will help me learn more about this wonderful country of which I have the extreme privilege of being a citizen.
