On this day in our country we celebrate freedom with fireworks and flags and food. The hardwon fight that inspired the holiday is unfathomable to most Americans as we live in our comfortable twenty-first century lives. We know that soldiers fought and suffered but to understand, at least a little, the sacrifice of their families, one should watch the film, The Patriot. A widowed father, who disdains violence, is compelled to act when his home is threatened and his sons are slain. The story draws the viewer into the life and times, and the reasons for tearful rejoicing.
