They stand for us. Let’s stand with them.
There is something about Independence Day that makes us pause.
The Tricolour looks a little more beautiful.
The national anthem feels a little more powerful.
The word freedom feels a little heavier.
And somewhere, amid the celebrations, speeches, flags and patriotic songs, there is a thought that often crosses my mind:
Who makes it possible for us to celebrate this freedom so freely?
For most of us, Independence Day means waking up at home, celebrating with family, watching the flag hoisted, sharing messages, singing patriotic songs and perhaps remembering the sacrifices that built this nation.
