So how will we remember this July 4th? As patriotic and brave as it may be to head to a national monument, brave the elevator shaft of the Sears Tower, or stare up from the base of the St. Louis Arch, spend time this year in reflection over the reason this liberty has been given to us. Go ahead and have the barbecue, enjoy the hot dogs, the baseball games, the parades, and of course, the fireworks.

But also take time to give thanks for we have been given -- unmerited blessings as "One nation, under God." And in doing so, we have offered "liberty and justice for all" in ways that no other country has dared to attempt to do.

Amen to that. I'll be out on Wawayanda Lake bass fishing with my wife, enjoying some cold brews, and definitely celebrating the blessings of liberty.

As will millions of other Americans, celebrating the 4th away from televsion. I believe Al Queda (following a lead originally set forth by Bin Laden) will want instant public exposure for their terrorist activities and therefore will choose another time for an attack.
