Whether you’re celebrating the birthday of a certain nation today, or simply a person who values independence and self-determination, this day is a special one. It’s an opportunity for gratitude for the freedom you have, compassion for those who have less, and courage to not only preserve it for yourself, but to help establish and protect it for all.
“Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe.” — Elie Wiesel
