Snapshots Across America
Christmas Advent Calendar-Dec. 2
As we follow up on Day 2 of our Snapshots-Advent Calendar where we are recognizing the gifts that we receive from living in America, we again turn to the Declaration of Independence for our inspiration, we are blessed by our "Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
The Gift of Liberty
The Oxford Dictionary defines Liberty as "The state of being free within society from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views." Many people came to America to escape the oppression they lived under in other countries and live in America and enjoy Liberty. The Statue of Liberty has become the recognized symbol of that liberty.
