Still the Land of the Free

I'm grateful to live here. I'm indebted in ways I'll never fully appreciate to all those, of every generation, who have given to the cause of freedom...truly one of the most beautiful words I know.

So have a ball today. Celebrate with family, go to all those great picnics where everyone brings their very best dishes. Independence Day is one of the very best holidays to celebrate. And don't forget that its purpose is to cause us to remember, to ponder, to wonder...
and to be grateful.
