This holiday I’m reminded of what America’s birthday really means to me. Do you know what it means to you? Peace, freedom, your right to do and go as you please, your right to say and speak as you please? To voice your opinion on any matter that might arise, to attend any church you so desire or not to attend at all if that’s your choice? Religious freedom to do as you deem fit?
The price paid for all these things taken for granted is enormous. As you watch the fireworks and enjoy the barbecue and cold beer, pause for a moment and say thank you for the price someone has paid for you.
