Today, many of us will enjoy hot dogs, family and friends, and baseball. We all hope for sunny skies.

Let’s remember, though, what this day is really all about — our freedoms and those over the years who have had to fight to preserve them as part of our armed forces, with the pen, or with their vote.

Let’s also remember George Washington, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Sam and John Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, Molly Pitcher and the many others whose names are known, slightly known, or remain unknown. They helped us become the greatest society in the history of the world.

Take some time between this year’s birthday and the one in 2010 to read about the founding of this country and learn more about what these people did more than 230 years ago.
