July 4th Reflections …

Most of us know E.B. White as a prominent children’s author, famous for Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little, and The Trumpet of the Swan. However, he was also a prolific essayist, spending his career writing for The New Yorker magazine.

As I sit with his book, I realize it is ripe with meaning and applicability to today’s world. His writings from the pre-WWI and WWII eras are so relevant to today. They remind us of the importance of holding onto the vision of what this country means to us all—especially our freedoms.

In the tapestry of freedom woven by our forefathers, the threads of individuality intertwine with the strength of shared purpose. We cherish the right to forge our own paths, to think for ourselves, and to make choices that shape our lives.
