Maybe you like President Trump. Or maybe you don’t.
Irrespective of which opinion you hold, however, neither one – without more – will get you arrested, indicted or imprisoned, unlike elsewhere in the world where criticism of the government or the current leader(s) might cause you to vanish without a trace.
Today is the one day each year set aside to remember why that is.
Not the 4th of July: The 4th is a day to celebrate the principles on which this country was founded.
Today is the day we remember the men and women who laid down their lives defending those principles.
Approximately 658,000 lives lost in battle, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Approximately 658,000 individual futures sacrificed for this country’s future. And for ours.
Today is the day for remembering that.
And for being grateful.
