Letter writing topic for February 1, 2010:
Today is National Freedom Day, officially designated by U.S. President Harry Truman in 1948. It was created to promote good feelings, harmony, and equal opportunity among all citizens and to remember that the United States is a nation dedicated to the ideal of freedom. February 1 was chosen as National Freedom Day because it was the day in 1865 that President Lincoln signed the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, outlawing slavery.
Today, write a letter about what it means to you to be free.
