FELLOW FREEDOM FIGHTERS: The DDC Factory Floor is closed today.

It’s a safe bet we’re standing around in someone’s backyard, destroying a couple bratwursts and sippin’ an ice-cold Coke on this great American day.

Freedom!

02. How lucky we are to be alive.
03. Founding Fathers.
04. Founding Mothers.
05. Soldiers freezin’ at Valley Forge.
06. How lucky we are to live here.
07. What freedom means to me.
08. Incredible moments of shameful hypocrisy in our history.
09. How many things we need to fix.
10. How many people need our help.
11. How big this country is.
12. How many different kinds of people are in it.
13. How each state is it’s own little place, different from the next.
14. How much progress we’ve made.
15. How far we’ve come.
16. How far we’ve got to go.
17. How many great things have come out of the U.S.A.

19. “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.” Wow.

It’s good to be free.
