July 1 is Canada Day. July 4 Americans will celebrate 226 years of Independence. Algeria, France, Peru and Switzerland are among many other national independence celebrants this month.

July is a month of anniversaries of freedoms that the whole world celebrates...those who do not take freedom and independence for granted do, at least.

Don't forget to rejoice in your freedom to travel; freedom from disease; freedom to communicate, and freedom to frolic!
