Today, Americans celebrate the Fourth of July, the birthday of our nation and the day on which our Founding Fathers adopted the document that declared our independence from England. Although the England of Elizabeth I’s day was an absolute monarchy, as queen, she recognized the importance of liberty, just as we Americans do today. She said:
“God forbid that your liberty should make my bondage or that your lawful liberties should any ways have been infringed.”
All our best wishes for a happy and healthy Fourth of July!
