As America
approaches the anniversary of our greatest
challenge, I feel especially blessed to be a
citizen of this fair land. We have overcome every
adversity and obstacle that has attempted to erode
the freedom and security we cherish. In "Hometown
Pride," I'm trying to evoke the very essence of the
American dream -the peace and precious freedoms
that continue to be our birthright. In his
celebrated Four Freedoms paintings, Norman Rockwell
recognizes Freedom from Fear as one of the cardinal
protections Americans enjoy. That is the spirit-the
message if you will-of this proud
painting.
