I loved seeing American Flags everywhere and walking my childhood neighborhood that hosted ghosts from The War of Independence. I loved the historic church at that location with moss covered cemetery plots. I lamented most of my educated adult life the fact that our Founders were privileged white men protecting their privilege. It was about country, non-partisan and without overt religiosity, and for a kid, the only time blowing stuff up was celebrated by your parents. Today, as I write this, I am aglow with celebrating how many glass ceilings have shattered lately, freeing us all from historic restrictions, and honoring vital words enshrined in our founding documents.
