For at least the last month, this flag has been displayed inside the Macy's department Store (originally the Marshall Field's Flagship store) on State Street. It is by their account the largest indoor flag in America. And it's pretty incredible.
I'm headed to the beach to celebrate freedom today with a few new city friends. The weather will be perfect, albeit unseasonably cool by local standards.
I'll think about the fact that our freedom has never been free. I'll remember that many people have worked long and hard to enable this democracy to allow its citizens the rights to free speech, press, assembly and above all that "all men are created equal..." even if that equality takes some fighting.
I hope yours has some bbq or a parade or maybe just some good fireworks.
