We want to wish to everyone a Happy 4th of July.

For those who are unfortunate to be stuck in the middle of a Bar Bri summer, at least for today, please get away from those outlines and your laptops. Otherwise, wherever you are, whatever you are up to, here is to raising a glass celebrating America’s Birthday:

As Menelaus noted so eloquently two years ago raising and celebrating our national colors have a special meaning in this community, given so many of our own often represent the Red, White and Blue in the ultimate stage of the athletic world.

So have a great and safe day of fun festivities with family, friends filled with fireworks, barbecue and parades.

Happy 4th everybody.

GO BRUINS.
