I"m so impressed that we still have citizens of this great country that pay attention to detail. Kudos to all who noticed the errors on the previous poster, it is in-line with our theme which is 'Attention To Detail'. The world is watching and it's time we all start paying attention to detail. We must all get involved in making this country great again. #nottooyoungtorun #attentiontodetail
