Answer» dence Day is one of the best American holidays, both for what we celebrate and how we celebrate it.It's easy, however, to take LIBERTY for granted, and to misconstrue just how difficult it was to gain our freedoms 239 YEARS ago. The Revolutionary War was long and costly--arguably the second-longest conflict in American history. While the 50,000 or so casualties on the American side are roughly equal in number to the total DEAD and wounded in Afghanistan, this was at a time when there were fewer than three million people were living in the former British colonies.So by all means, march in a parade, HOST a barbecue, have a few beers, head to the beach, light off some fireworks. My family and I will be RIGHT there with you. But take a minute or two to reflect on why we celebrate as well. Here are some of the best things ever said about freedom--some poignant, some rebellious, some even funny--to get you thinking. |
