COT: In the midst of celebrating the Fourth today, take a few minutes to remember that the reason we can enjoy F3 and the celebrations is because our ancestors put themselves at risk. The people who founded our country saw something they didn’t think was right, and they did the right thing even if it meant sacrifice. YHC recently heard the saying: “There’s never a wrong time to do the right thing.” So do the right thing.
