“Celebrating Our Freedoms” on Morning Energy

Share

On June 27, 2022, At least 50 people were found dead in an abandoned 18-wheeler in San Antonio, Texas in connection to a migrant smuggling operation.Cross-border smuggling and human trafficking have been longstanding problems along the U.S.-Mexico border. However, for some, in the name of freedom and opportunity, the risk is worth it. This tragic event comes on the heels of the United States celebration of its independence from British rule.

The United States of America (U.S.) is affectionately known as , The Land Of The Free, And  The Home Of The Brave”.  This famous phrase is widely known to have been authored by Francis Scott Key in the early 1800s and is presently sung as part of the National Anthem, “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Gaining America’s freedom was no easy task. There were many sacrifices that were made (to include years of war and death). However, in the words of former president, Dwight D. Eisenhower, “The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!”

On Morning we are going to spend time exploring the history of America’s independence and also the cost of gaining our individual freedoms and independence in various of our lives.

Join me, Renna Reddick Friday from 4 to 6 a.m. for a special musical journey about this topic! I am definitely looking forward to spending time with you on the airwaves and sharing your energy!!!
