Happy Flag Day from BESPIN! Fun Fact: Flag Day commemorates the adoption of the American flag on June 14, 1777, by resolution of the Second Continental Congress. This day serves as a reminder of the values and freedoms the flag represents for us all. #FlagDay #BESPINAF #AirForce

Does positivity limit PR reach? Threads apparently is favouring positive posts. What do you think? Great discussion with @OrtegaDefense in this week's ThePublicRelationsPodcast.co… #PR #SocialMedia #PublicRelations
