Now, you've got yourself a castle.

Take a look at a castle, any castle.

Now, break down the elements that make it a castle.

Location. Protection. Garrison.

Flag.

The only difference between this castle and all the rest

is they were built to keep people out.

This castle was built to keep people in.

----

A great general once said,

You tell your men, "you're soldiers. That's our flag."

 

You tell them, "Nobody takes our flag.

Raise your flag so it flies high where everyone can see it."

Now, you've got yourself a castle.
