ENJOY AN AWESOME -- AND SAFE -- 4TH OF JULY

With the Fourth of July falling on a Thursday this year, many of us will be enjoying an extra-long holiday weekend for which the weather hopefully will cooperate. The Fourth of July rekindles fond memories from our child- hood of the times when we spent the holiday with our families and friends for gatherings at barbecues, at the beach, and at mu- nicipal fireworks displays in the evenings. Amidst all of our celebrating however, we often overlook the reason why we have a Fourth of July: The date in 1776 when a group of America’s leaders and best thinkers gathered in Phila- delphia to declare their independence from England by means of a proclamation to the world in which they stated that the truths “... that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” remain self-evident to this day, 243 years later. Another overlooked aspect of the Fourth, especially during a Guest Op-Ed long holiday weekend, is that too many among us will engage in behavior that is risky not only to ourselves, but to our loved Baby Boomers should be wary of Medicare changes ones and others around us.
