Happy 4th of July America!
Good Morning and Happy Birthday America!
What a great day to wake up and realize the freedom that we have today was fought for so bravely by brave souls past, and present!
Think of where this country started and to where we are now, and the incredible journey we've traveled as Americans. The personal freedoms we enjoy today - speech, religion, right to bear arms - are sometimes taken for granted. I watch the news and see citizens of other countries that are not as fortunate as us - example, those living in China or the Darfur region - and I thank God that I live where we live.
Right now our country is going through some difficulty with the recession sitting in our backyard. As we struggle with the high costs of fuel, food, health insurance, etc., and deal with the Iraq & Afghanistan wars (and the tragic loss of our young men & women serving so bravely for our country), I can't help but think of our for-fathers and what they went through and experienced during the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, WW1 & WW2, Vietnam.
It wasn't easy, I'm sure. Nor will it be easy for us to fight through the challenges that lie ahead. The world is a different climate now than it was in the past, and America isn't quite on the same footing with the rest of the world as it has been in the past. Anti-Americanism is strong.
The American Dream is harder and harder to achieve as our economy struggles in the world market. But,we've been through hard times before America. We've pulled ourselves up by the bootstraps and fought hard to pull through and made the country better for the next generation.
I have faith in us as people - as Americans. We need to work together. Tighten the belt, forge ahead and persevere. Have faith. Fight for what we believe in and make sure that this country (this beautiful land of ours) lives on for the next generation to enjoy. Will it be easy? No, it will be damned hard. We've done it before and we've come out better on the other side. We can do it again.
I'm proud to live in this great country called the United States of America and call myself an American.
Today I'm celebrating and honoring the country that I live in, and thanking the generations who have gone before me, for making the sacrifices in order for me to enjoy the wonderful freedoms and life that I enjoy today.
Will you remember and celebrate as well?
