You are right my friend, Pride did not end on June 30th. We keep that fire going strong. I understand somber feelings of this 4th, when fireworks feel more like the shelling endured by our forefathers than the celebratory bursts of light an wonder in the night sky. For me though, even though we struggle to fulfill that original promise, and have since our founding, I see our nation as one guided and united by this idea, and our history a continual re-learning of this sacred truth. With every generation we widen who that promise includes. It is slow work, but this day always reminds me of how far we have come-and how far we still have to go.
