Ad was perfect for Independence Day

Regarding the Wednesday letter, “Despite ad, not a religious holiday”: The Fourth of July ad, “In God We Trust” was totally appropriate for Independence Day! Have you ever noticed that all of our money is inscribed “In God We Trust?” Have you ever been to the U.S. Capitol building with all the references to God permanently written on the walls and monuments? Would that be too disturbing to see all the evidence of the Founding Father’s intention that the U.S. be formed on Christian principles?

The authors of this ad are not tyrants, only truthful informants of how this nation was formed! Thank you Herald, for publishing this history lesson all of us need to know! I will treasure it, and I think highly of you for running such an ad.
