It will soon be Independence Day. It’s great to be free, but sometimes it comes at a great price. Our servicemen make sure we can continue to be free, and our laws are designed to help us keep to a standard which can help us not allow ourselves to get out of hand, because true freedom still comes with the burdens of conscience and common sense.
I will be cooking up the burgers and potato salad, flying the flag outside my home and enjoying the parades and fireworks. Some people go to the beach or a campground. Some don’t go anywhere or do anything. That’s fine. We’re free to do that.
While you’re out and about or sitting and relaxing on this historic holiday, remember that it took a lot of bloodshed and compromises and hard work to get our country to where it is now. We must continue to work hard at it every day so we can stay free.
