Today’s Independence Day for my country. We’re celebrating the 249th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence’s signing.
I think it’s a big deal. But I think how we go about being citizens is important, too. Arguably more important.
Tomorrow I’ll post something about family, fireworks, and love of country. Citizenship, too, but I’ve gone into that in more detail elsewhere:
- “Independence Day, 2024: America and Context, a Short Ramble”
(July 4, 2024) - “Independence Day: Freedom, Citizenship and Looking Ahead”
(July 4, 2023) - “Independence Day: America and Acting Like Love Matters”
(July 4, 2022) - “Alabaster Cities, Fireworks, a Condo Disaster and Tears”
(July 3, 2021) - “Patriot Dreams”
