How did you celebrate the Fourth of July?

by Stan Faryna

…

That’s what has been on my mind today. This question. How shall I celebrate a Fourth of July?

I searched my heart for an answer. Across the minutes and the hours that pressed me on to tomorrow with ruthless and yet careless indignence.

Then it came to me. I must celebrate this day by sharing the spirit of the hope that struck out against tyranny and greed and yet fuels the hope of all – everywhere. Therefore, I give you (again) Sir Charles Chaplin’s Final Speech of the Great Dictator.

God bless America. God bless us all. Everyone.
