A Reflection on America’s 250th
This Independence Day carries a little extra weight. 250 years is a milestone worth marking. 
 
But in many ways, America is still young. 
 
Our next chapter won’t be written by historians. It will be written by all of us. 
 

Let’s make it one to be proud of.

Have a Happy 4th!
