Honor Your Hometown
Phase Two
Honor Your Hometown has been a wildly successful campaign that has brought together some of America’s most prominent people and institutions to celebrate our hometowns and reached hundreds of millions of people. We are now entering Phase Two, where we will push to create a national holiday, in the spirit of Mother’s Day, to honor our hometowns.

“Everything I've learned of deep importance, I learned in this town. You learn most of what makes you who you are, gosh, I don't know, by the time you're 12 maybe. Maybe your teen years. And I had all the usual joy, and the heartbreak of growing up in a small town like this. And, of course, the minute the opportunity arose, I got the hell out, all right? And I suppose the unusual thing was that, moving around the world as I did, all I do is I always came back.”
