Our Independance Day is the most significant of all national holidays. 230 years ago we became responsible for our own destiny. We have matured as a nation of free people. We continue to be the envy of the free world and, at the same time, hated by those that do not embrace our values. We are free to choose our politics, where we stand on issues, our religion and our lifestyles.We are curious about all things. We explore. We are innovators. We question all things and continuously search for truths.
We are family and free to have our disagreements but, like a family, we are close. Don't threaten us because we become one in an instant. Criticize us because we are not perfect. We don't like it but, we listen. Great civilizations rise and fall. Ours, based on freedom, will live on.
This is one blogger that says "God bless America."
