[Excerpt]
Booker T. Stallworth, Olympia
"Growing up, I was taught that the Fourth should remind Americans of freedom, liberty, and peace, not just loud and expensive fireworks. Recently, my placement into the Peace Corps was cancelled because of funding cuts, which hundreds of other potential volunteers experienced. Currently, applications for the Peace Corps have increased by 11,000 and there are 20 countries on the waiting list. With all of the money going to the war, there is no money for peace. America's greatest programs lacks funding. Promises not funded are promises not kept. In essence, maybe this year the Fourth of July should only symbolize what is going on in Iraq .
