Like lots of my fellow Individuals, I’ve spent a lot of this yr considering the that means of America’s 250th birthday. I’ve participated in unbelievable occasions to mark this momentous event, and I’ve learn dozens of reflections on America that vary from passionately patriotic to sharply crucial and all the things in between. But, out of all the things I’ve seen or learn, I’m most moved by the phrases of my very own late father, which I revisited simply earlier than the Fourth of July vacation final week.
