I just finished lunch at one of my favorite places in Queen Village, (New Wave Cafe). Driving back to my office, at ReMax Access in N Libs, I went east on Chestnut st coming up to Independance Hall. Out of the corner of my eye , I couldn't help but notice 2 couples taking pictures of the most recognizable building in America. As they moved the camera from their faces, I saw that there were tears streaming down their cheeks. I stopped and thought of how this was such an emotional time for them. These people were not born in this country ( dont ask me how I know this), but they were caught up in the moment and it was special. I was born in Philadelphia, live and work in Philadelphia, raised a family here and will probably die here but, I can count on 1 finger how many times I have visited Independance Hall, The Liberty Bell , Betsy Ross House etc. Just imagine what people in other countries not as fortunate as us, go through. Liberty and freedom should not be taken for granted. I was actually moved by these 2 couples and even thought these places are just symbols, they mean Liberty and Freedom! Think about it. God Bless America.
