Townhall Review | Conservative Commentary On Today... - Hugh Hewitt: Three Monumental Anniversaries for Our Nation

The next few months are anniversary-heavy for our nation. Before the fireworks of the 250th Fourth of July begin, try with family and friends to agree on what we are celebrating. Try as well to articulate how we defend what our country has long been committed to. We’re also only three months away from the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda. The great and the awful anniversaries are connected by that which the first proclaimed and which the second attempted to end: freedom. We ought also to spend part of this celebration in reflecting on admiration for the courage of not just those who voted “yes” on the Declaration, but also to who had the courage to actually sign their names to it on August 2, 1776. This brace of anniversaries should remind every American that ours is a unique and enduring commitment to human liberty. May we all renew our commitment to the country’s first principles.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
