As I begin this article, let me take a moment and wish everyone a Happy 237th Independence Day. May we keep the flame of Liberty burning bright for many years to come. But, while we’re celebrating our national freedom, let’s turn our attention to another American classic – the wooden rocking chair.
Permit me to take some liberty in my following opinion that the wooden rocking chair and our American history can be linked hand-in-hand. Perhaps Betsy Ross created our nation’s first flag while seated in a wooden rocking chair. Or, maybe President Lincoln wrote some of his speeches from a wooden rocking chair.
I think you get the point of my writing: that as classic as our American symbols are we have a responsibility to pass on these symbols of our freedoms to future generations. The wooden rocking chair will become an heirloom to our children. The wooden rocking chair will also make a bold statement of enduring practicality and style.
