Festooning fire fingers streak down the sky while soft July breezes stir across upturned faces and the band plays softly.
Suddenly I see beyond the framework of our celebration. I see fireworks and flags, hard-boiled eggs and potato salad, a parade down Main Street, cotton candy, roller coasters, and the dance at the country club. I see a little band of people crossing the ocean to make a new life. A woodsman hacking a trail westward, a man and woman working together to make a home in the wilderness. I see rows of graves in France, marking fallen doughboys, four young men raising a flag on Iwo Jima, and a group of astronauts blasting off to yet a new frontier. 1 see a sweet land of liberty.
One of the most important things this land stands for is a person’s right to worship God in the way he or she wants. Attend your church or synagogue and take advantage of this precious heritage.
