I started the day thinking about the Fourth, thinking about what it means and why we celebrate it. And as I was thinking I realized that this day, the Fourth of July, our Independence Day, should not be a celebration of America as a nation. It should be a celebration of liberty and a celebration of those people who stood up in 1776 and told the King of England that we were free.

From the moment we all met we were instant best friends…and for a little six year old who had never really had a good friend her age, it was the most amazing thing in the world. (and it still is.) I count every single one of them to be my dearest and best of friends. So we…
