What does Independence Day/Fourth of July mean to you?

I think there’s always a reason to celebrate, and if you can’t celebrate where we’re at, we should celebrate what we’re working toward.

True patriotism for our country. I’m as American as apple pie and all about the red, white and blue!

Freedom. Being able to do all the things you want to under the confines of the law.

It doesn’t mean that much to me because I don’t think America’s really independent. Independence Day gives us the feeling of independence but in reality Americans are not truly independent.

It doesn’t mean the end of the struggle for me. It means that we made milestones along the way, yet we must continue to move forward as there’s much progress to accomplish.

It means more than just the independence of a country. It’s more about the celebration of the whole individual: body, mind, spirit.
