The Fourth of July is a holiday that allows the nation to consider our past without being stuck there. And it is an opportunity to look forward without forgetting where it came from.
Yes, it is fireworks, family, friends, music and barbecues. And yes, it is a time for reflection. Our nation's founders did not leave us with a finished product when they signed the Declaration of Independence or replaced the Articles of Confederation with the Constitution and Bill of Rights. They left us a framework, a challenge, and a goal to pursue. That has been the message shared by presidents for more than 200 years.
The history of Fourth of July celebrations is one of the most fascinating chapters in America's story. And sharing America's story is what we do at Jim Hinckley's America. We do this with support from listeners through Patreon. We also do this with support from the folks at Roadrunner Lodge Motel, Two Lane America, RouteTrip USA, Deana Nelson State Farm Insurance, Gilligan's Route 66 Tours, and Enchanted Trails Trading Post & RV Park.
