We're in the midst of July, the month in which Americans are supposed to be at their most patriotic! With barbecues, beach trips, and fireworks galore, this is the month where we celebrate our country.

In between celebrating and feasting, it's important to remember the very basis this country is founded on: "liberty and justice for all."
