Old Glory”
Ever
wonder about
the word
“patriotism”?
What is
patriotism
like today
with our new
president?
What does our
4th of July
holiday focus
on? Here's an
opportunity to
hear from a
number of
famous people
about the
concept of
patriotism and
to renew your
own spirit of
patriotism.
Susan will
facilitate
this program
originally
conceptualized
by Reid
Swanson, a
former member
of UUFGC who
now lives in
California.

returns to

with an
unlikely
circle of
friends and
finds a new
calling as a
spokesman for
the disabled.
His efforts as
an activist
eventually

inspiring and
