July 4th. The greatest day on the American calendar. It represents the day that our tiny nation, just a few scattered colonies on the east coast of this great continent, declared independence from oppression and the right to live their lives they way they wanted, free from tyranny.
And while my independence from this countdown of the Top 10 Patriots Moments of 2024 is dwarfed by what would transpire in the years following 1776, I’m quite happy to be free from it. Last season sucked. So I’m very happy to be kicking off the best long weekend of the year by closing it out in style.
