Today we in the United States have the day off from work to celebrate the 4th of July. This is an important holiday in the history of the United States as it marks our independence and freedom. A lot has changed since that day so long ago but the core believes still holds true. We are a nation built on the ideals of freedom, perseverance and determination and yes we are a nation built "under God" as it is stated in so many of our most historical documents.We, as Americans, should take a moment today and remember the sacrifice made to establish our Nation and the ongoing sacrifice to protect our Nation on a daily basis.
What does this have to do with writing? Nothing really unless you pay close attention to the elegant words, that were handwritten, used in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Nicolas Cage said it right in the movie "National Treasure" when he said "people don't talk like that anymore."
Enjoy this holiday and if you are living somewhere outside the States enjoy your weekend.
Be safe and happy writing.

An after the holiday comment as I was away, yet your words ring so true and myself, as a "yesteryear" personality I hold near and dear the past, the words they spoke...all a lost art.
Thank you all and I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday.
