Patriotism on Pleasantville Road • 07.02.10
You often see flags waving on the Fourth of July and lots of red, white and blue.
But here in Briarcliff Manor, a local dentist has gone a step further.
Dr. Michael Teitelbaum got an idea last night to put a sign on the lawn of his office saying “Honk for Liberty.”
“It suddenly occurred to me. I wanted to do something a little different,” he explained.
Teitelbaum’s office is called The Briarcliff Center for Esthetic Dentistry and it’s at 1312 Pleasantville Road.
He said he usually hangs up a large flag, but this year he couldn’t find it so he set out to come up with an alternative. By 11 a.m. he said he planted the signs and the horns began honking.
An observant passerby noticed the sign and sent up the above photo to share.
Teitelbaum is seeing patients today and as a special treat in honor of the holiday he is handing out small American flags. And in case that is not enough patriotism, he is wearing all-American colors — a white shirt, dark blue slacks and a flag tie, he says.
Happy Fourth of July!
“It’s the Fourth of July and we are celebrating liberty, now that’s patriotic,” he said.
