Our View of the Times – June 29

On June 29, 2022, in Latest News, by The Somerville Times

The Fourth of July holds a special significance in the hearts of truly patriotic Americans. Not only is it a time to celebrate the birth of our nation, but it also happens to fall at the best time of year to make good times happen, summer.

Who among us doesn’t enjoy the occasion? Who can resist the warm glow of good fellowship between friends, neighbors and families as the “birthday” of our nation comes around?

Great memories for the future are made each year as we attend a patriotic gathering, watch some fireworks, or just take a quiet look around and realize that America is still the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. There’s nothing corny about these ideas. They are concepts that live and breathe as vitally today as they ever have.

For whatever exists momentarily that may divide us, there are important times like these when we can unite together in the spirit of true patriotism and national pride to celebrate the great gift of being Americans, and commemorate the sacrifices of our forebears in bringing this nation to life. We owe it to their memories to take the time to pause and reflect on what their efforts mean to us today.

Enjoy the day and remember what it stands for. That’s the most important thing of all.

So take the family out this Thursday, June 30, for the annual Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration at Trum Field. The entertainment begins at 6:30 p.m. and the spectacular fireworks display follows. Make some patriotic memories with your loved ones this year.
