As we ease into the long weekend, I hope you’re surrounded by the people and moments that make you feel most at home. Whether you’re celebrating with family and friends, enjoying some well-earned rest, or checking off that lingering to-do list, I invite you to take a quiet moment to reflect on the freedoms that define and unite us.
This holiday honors more than a date on the calendar — it’s a celebration of the values we hold dear: liberty, democracy, and the rights protected by our Constitution, including:
1. Freedom of Religion – To honor your beliefs, or none at all.
2. Freedom of Speech – To speak your heart and mind freely.
3. Freedom of the Press – To stay informed and share ideas openly.
4. Freedom of Assembly – To gather, connect, and be heard.
5. Freedom to Petition – To stand up, speak out, and ask for change.
Wishing you a joyful and meaningful Fourth of July — filled with laughter, connection, and the comforts of home.
