  1. This holiday is not to celebrate a date on the calendar and a long weekend. It is to celebrate the courage of the founders of this nation to take extreme risks to secure the liberties that sadly, most of our generation take for granted. Let’s give this day the solemn respect it deserves, by calling it what it is, Independence Day, and stop disregarding its solemn meaning with the misnomer, “4th of July.” The words we choose matter.
