<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“This is exactly the kind of initiative we need right now,” said BURNS, &#8220;a celebration of where we come from and a reminder that we should be hopeful because our common bonds and values outweigh whatever differences we might have.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Although it feels like we have honorary days for seemingly everything in AMERICA, there is no national tradition for honoring our hometowns,&#8221; added STUART. &#8220;It’s a void that needs to be filled. Our hometowns are where we bond as neighbors, friends and Americans. They are what bring us together.”</p>
