On July 4th, 1776, our for fathers demanded their right to be free by declaring independence from King George III and the British Crown.
Independence Day honors the birthday of the United States of America and the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Before we all dive into the festivities of picnics and patriotic parades, enjoying friends, neighbors, family, a night of fireworks, and a reason to fly the American flag.
This is a good time for Americans to think, about what we are specifically looking to gain "independence" from. For most of us, we desperately seek freedom from individual mandates, an exploding national debt, and a society set on destroying the principles that it's greatness was built on.
This 4th of July also means to reflect on the courage of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, for without them, we would not have the opportunity and privilege of living in this great country.
As the years pass and we get older and watch our children age, our feelings about this day means so much more. We have gained a new profound love of our country each day.
And our right of Freedom Of Speech.
We appreciate the freedom's that we as Americans some times take for granted.
And, we especially owe the biggest gratitude and thanks to our veterans and troops who have kept our country free since 1776.
Let's remember our fallen and our wounded and let's remember to help make this country a better place regardless of our differences.
May God always bless you, and this great country!
Thomas Jefferson said it best, "We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
And...
"Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government."
We the People...Works!
Happy Birthday America
