An item from the Wreaths Across America organization that may be of interest to members.
As America prepares to celebrate 250 years of freedom, there will be fireworks lighting the sky, parades filling our streets, music echoing through our towns, and families gathering together across the nation.
There should be.
Freedom is worth celebrating.
But freedom is also worth remembering.
