Last week we all celebrated Independence Day. The day that we as Americans get to reflect on and celebrate the freedoms we enjoy in our country, thanks to all of those who worked, bled and died to make us a free nation, and thanks to all of those who continue to do so.
As I was pondering on the day and those freedoms, I recalled a favorite moment from one of my favorite television shows.
In one of my very favorite episodes of “The West Wing” President Bartlet reads a speech and says… ‘Well over three and a half centuries ago, strengthened by faith and bound by a common desire for liberty, a small band of pilgrims sought out a place in the New World where they could worship according to their own beliefs.”
