It's a beautiful day in Maryland. A day to celebrate freedom: the ability to be free to love and enjoy life; to vote, to say anything; to protest. We should not take it for granted.
The sun is shining but much and many are still waging their personal battles for freedom. Remember Laura Ling and Eula Lee still behind bars in "hard labor" in North Korea. Remember the brave men and women in Iran who voted in masses and lost....and are protesting and being arrested as you read this. Remember freedom and what we have...celebrate the days.

What got me started on this? Being with family yesterday at a wonderful celebration of college graduation with friends and family, and seeing the joy on 2 of my grandchildren's faces as they played with complete freedom....remember freedom....the innocence of children but don't forget those who are without.

My daughter and I have been talking about Laura Ling and Eula Lee this morning, and have been reflecting on our wonderful gift of freedom. With all the good and bad, ups and downs, opportunities and challenges, America is still the land of the free - and for this, I am supremely grateful.
