FireworksAs any parent of a teenager knows, the most important right that a teen wants is independence.

Our Founding Fathers valued this quality so much that they fought a war over it. People all over the world continue to fight for their independence. The Arab Spring was a recent reminder.

As we celebrate Independence Day we have many to thank and much for which to be thankful.

As we appreciate our freedoms, let us remember to give people the right to express their points of views and be independent without being micromanaged.

Our Founding Fathers and teenagers have rebelled for their independence. Let us honor, appreciate and celebrate this gift today and every day.

Happy 4th of July!
