Bret Baier's Compelling Case for America
As a teenager in 1976, I remember the excitement building up to the bicentennial celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Seemingly every clothing store, whether the elevated department stores of the day or the bargain clothing stores, was filled with red, white, and blue clothing to show our enthusiasm for the Fourth of July that year.
TL;DR
- The author recalls the intense patriotic excitement and themed merchandise during the 1976 Bicentennial celebration.
- Bret Baier's new book, "The Case for America," makes an argument for the nation's enduring qualities.
- The book suggests that American traits like perseverance and aspiration are still vital 250 years after the Declaration of Independence.
- The book explores historical and contemporary challenges to national loyalty and ideals.
