Scott’s View: The True Meaning of the 4th of July: More Than Just Fireworks
This July 4, images of fireworks, backyard barbecues, and festive parades fill our minds. These celebrations are certainly a joyous part of American tradition, but beneath the sparkle and good cheer lies a deeper, more profound meaning — one rooted in sacrifice, courage, and the unwavering pursuit of freedom.
