Letters: Let freedom ring!
TWO HUNDRED and thirty years ago, John Adams called it the Day of Deliverance.
In our hometown of Philadelphia, we begin the celebration of the Fourth of July, appropriately, at Independence Hall with political rhetoric and prestigious award ceremonies and the tapping of the Liberty Bell.
The patriotic nostalgia permeates the air while Ol' Glory waves at us from all directions as the sweet sounds of classic anthems electrify our senses.
As we remember the Spirit of '76, let us ponder the words of Thomas Jefferson: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that All Men are Created Equal."
How fortunate we are to
live in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, able
to exercise our unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. God bless America!
