"Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country"

— President John F. Kennedy

As sovereign men, we can find it hard to understand the handout crowd. The someone-please-take-care-of-me, the what-can-my-country-do-for-me folks. It's foreign to us. We don't want to be managed or taken care of. We want freedom to take care of ourselves.

But here's what we forget. We're so locked in on not asking the country for anything that we might forget to ask the other half of the question.

"Ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country"

Today, we're benefiting from the greatness of this nation. That didn't happen on its own. You've got it because the men who came before you did something for it. They didn't just have a strong opinion about it. They built, they sacrificed, they carried weight that wasn't theirs to carry, so you'd inherit something worth inheriting.

So, what are you doing to make this country great for the next generation?

Not your vote. Not your opinion. Not the post you shared. Your actions. The thing you actually do with your hands and your time and your name on it.

We don't need you in the stands second-guessing every call. We need you on the field, putting points on the board that the next generation can build on.
