Love of country, I suppose, is an extension of love of family. Hence, by the way, the title of the long ago traveling photography show, The Family of Man. Our soldiers abroad, men and women, risking their lives, giving their lives, in the past and in the present, demonstrate our collective familial love. Today we celebrate that glorious human characteristic, something I pray will never, ever, be taken for granted or in any way undervalued. Let us pray for our soldiers at Home and away. Today, also, would be a fine time to honor the French, for example, and others, who though not colonists, helped us achieve Independence.
