The Fourth of July. The day we celebrate American independence. It’s more about our celebrating what we love about our country than it is about winning a war.
Like many who live here I’m proudly American. It is the country that welcomed my forebears when others wouldn’t. My story is different from yours, but the same. We all came from different economic means by relatives willing to risk their lives and their livelihoods to stake out a new beginning in a foreign land that was often not immediately welcoming to people who were “different.”
