Spirit of First 4th Will Give New Note to Independence Day
This reprint reflects on the 1776 Declaration of Independence, its signers and the Liberty Bell, tying the historical vow for liberty to World War II wartime unity. It notes the Fourth of July in 1776, the bell’s crack, and how liberty informs American resolve as war shapes this year’s celebration.
