As we celebrate our becoming an independent nation, let's hope and pray for freedom and peace everywhere and live in a way that respects and enhances freedom for all, which is not always easy.
Consider what Adlai Stevenson said: "My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular."
Ahh. May we always support such safety and never detract from it nor take it for granted. Along with celebrating liberty, may we wisely and carefully protect it.
With reverence for life and equal rights for all,
