As we celebrate our nation's freedom, there are a few coincidences to consider today. True freedom, that espoused by and fought for by the Founders of Liberty, consists in freedom of body and soul. If that were not so, Jefferson's monument would have different inscriptions. If that were not so, then people would not be so willing to fight just to go through the motions.
Soldiers and statesmen fight for the freedom of the body and mind to act. Their selfless sacrifice is something we indeed treasure. Many of them lost their lives. Many of them lost their fortunes.
There is another freedom fighter we often forget. In this land and on this day, I think it behooves us to think of Jesus Christ. He also laid down his life in the cause of Freedom. By his sacrifice, we are free from the consequences of sin and death. It is indeed fitting that the Fourth falls on a Sunday.
As you remember your fathers, brothers, and sons, remember also that Other Son, in whom we trust.
God Bless America, and Happy Birthday. I hope I look as good when I'm 234 years old ;).
