Freedom Days

With the passing of Freedom Days in Becker I do want to express my thanks to all those who made the day a success. It is difficult to name each individual or organization that participated as it really has become a community event. The Freedom Days Committee spent a great deal of time shaping the weekend but other organizations also participated in the planning and eventual outcomes for the public to participate and enjoy. Even the eventual participation of the public itself lends to magic of the day. As a community event the community participated and we all joined in the celebration of fun and a successful day! Thank You All for your participation and enjoyment as fun begets fun and it seemed apparent there was plenty of this throughout.

On a more serious note the establishment of Freedom Days is to commemorate the freedoms we have as citizens of the United States. Our ancestors worked diligently to create a model that respects the rights of people to live in a society that recognizes the needs of people. This model is being strived for by many nations throughout the world as the best approach to governance. Celebrating the 4th of July is not only a tradition that celebrates the American Way but also one of family. The anniversary of the declaration of independence is something to celebrate in your own way but take stock in the advantages and meaning that our fore fathers bestowed upon us with their actions. I wish everyone the best over this holiday!
