The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher

As a member of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and Regent of my large chapter for the past two years,I have given a speech at our local Boca Raton Memorial Day event. I have on both occasions, quoted General Douglas MacArthur's famous and moving speech. Last year my speech even recruited a family for members of our DAR chapter. This year I will also be at this event with the High School Band, Drummers and Pipers in Scottish garb playing, the local Fire Rescue and Police, a children's group called "The Young Patriots" who perform. The ceremony of the folding of the American Flag is done, with a dialogue telling the meaning of each fold. This is done by the local High School NJROTC, who, last year, won National 1st Place for their Drill team. In Boca Raton, we have increased our attendance at this event every year. It is always packed and one has to arrive very early to get a seat under the tent. This year I will observe our new Regent as she gives her speech.
