4th of July 2022, Oklahoma's Choice Weekly, Page 11
HAPPY 4th OF JULY Freedom and independence. To so many of us, these two words can mean many different things. But to Oklahoma’s Choice Weekly, they are two words that led us to begin publishing back in May, 2020. If we can remember, it was the height of the pandemic, restaurants and businesses were closing or restricting their business to drive-in only. There was uncertainty among many. But to those of us planning to begin a new publication, it was the independence and freedom that we enjoyed as U.S. citizens and the confidence we had as Oklahomans and Americans, that spurred us on. To this day we have never looked back with doubt or trepidation. We, as our country generally, looks forward. Sure our country faces problems. There’s never been a time it hasn’t. Inflation, high energy prices and general uncertainty are having a negative impact. Yet as we serve central Oklahoma, we continue to sense optimism and the feeling that working together, there isn’t anything we can’t achieve. As we travel from Kingfisher to Tulsa and from the Kansas/Oklahoma border to Seminole and Holdenville, we are greeted with smiles, handshakes and enthusiasm for the future. This 4th of July we give thanks to those that have served our country, our
health care workers and first responders who are always there for us. Our teachers who take on the responsibility of helping guide our children in school. Our rural business people who provide the backbone for Oklahoma’s economy. And our farmers and ranchers who grow the food to feed us all. It has been and remains an honor for Oklahoma’s Choice Weekly to serve our customers and our readers, and we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable 4th of July.
