This Independence Day finds me stumbling across a recounting of a letter Washington wrote home during the Revolutionary War. I use the content of that letter as a springboard to discuss the merits of the revolution, the value of the constitution, and what it means to truly esteem those things.
Celebrations and fireworks are great but true appreciation and real patriotism can only come from the daily informed participation of citizens.
