America, The Beautiful!
We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.
~ William Faulkner
May your 4th of July be safe and happy! And may you recall what this day is truly about.
Freedom is a hard-won reward. We can’t take it for granted or we may lose it. So, please, take a moment today and consider how special this great nation of ours is — we have fought for our right to disagree and speak our minds, as well as the right to take a day off and celebrate all manner of our liberties.

Ray’s voice gives me chills. His earnestness is always so evident
