Independence Day, Memorial Day, Flag Day, or the beautiful flags waving in the morning dew down the boulevard of the Veterans Home. These are spe- cial days or symbols which make us think about the freedoms that we all desire and pursue. The freedom to do what we want to do, the freedom to go where we want to go, or the freedom to pursue our own life, lib- erty and happiness. Thoughts of freedom have become even more precious to us in recent months in light of current events. We feel the fabric of those very ideas being stretched and torn to protect us from an unseen enemy. In many ways, we are fighting a war on our own soil which has not happened since the 1800s.
