As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, Jim Wieser reflects on how far the nation has come—and where it may be headed. Drawing from his personal experiences during the 1976 Bicentennial, military service, and decades in public life, Jim compares the optimism of America's 200th birthday with today's deeply divided political climate.
