Citizens of our United States rejoice, revel in the joy of our independence, and be grateful for all it affords us. Yet, be vigilant and on the ready, for today almost two and a half centuries later, there are those outside, and among us who seek to deny our freedom, and unthinkably to discriminate against certain Americans they don’t like. Celebrate and remember the words of these great people…
