Dear Members:
With the annual observance of Independence Day fast
approaching, I've been thinking about that iconic American saying: Freedom
Isn't Free.
Usually it refers to the sacrifice of the men and
women who serve in the military and their families - and it's especially
poignant and ironic that now our American vets are facing an incredibly high
unemployment rate and in some instances, have to wait more than a calendar year
for veteran services. I know our President is working hard on this, but
certainly we can do better as a nation.
On this 4th of July, may your hearts be filled with
love for your nation and filled with compassion for your fellow neighbor. May
your spirit be determined to work hard to make your community and our country
the best it can be. And, let’s not forget our brothers and sisters who
served and continue to serve so proudly in the military.
When you see them around town, tell them how much you
appreciate their service to our nation. May you and your loved ones have a safe and happy
holiday.
Yours in Unionism,
Bess Watts
