We are all beginning a new year filled with many surprises some pleasant and other experiences disappointing. Yet the nation persists with it's Constitution and the freedoms we are guaranteed. This great country remains the best hope of the world for those still looking for a new day. People of the world seek freedom's gift constantly and the hope it brings to all willing and able to dream. America is still enduring in spite of domestic and global trials. In God We Trust is not simply an inscription for our coins- -but also for our hearts. Keep faith in America whatever you hear. Dr. Alan G. Phillips, Sr.
