Today is the day that our nation celebrates freedom and remembers the struggle and sacrifices our forefathers made for independence. Every year in Boston, they read the Declaration of Independence from the balcony of the Old State House. It’s a life-changing experience to be there for that reading.

Freedom is something we all crave. It’s a natural born right. It’s what our kids look forward to after high school graduation: freedom from parental control and supervision. But with freedom comes responsibility. We are responsible for our choices, our decisions and the paths we take. Teach your kids this truth before they leave home for college.

Have a happy 4th of July with your family and celebrate freedom!
