As someone who grew up near the Canadian American border and who earned change for tying up American yachts in the yacht club just a few doors down from my home, I have always felt American as well as Canadian. And as an adult, I appreciate both countries and the value they have each added to my life, so on that note, I am taking this time to celebrate freedom for my American family, friends, and acquaintances … HAPPY 4th of JULY!
