Happy Fourth of July! On this day, we celebrate the anniversary of
birth of our United States of America. I heard a commentator on TV
state that we Americans are privileged to live in this United States of
America. In my opinion, that is true. While the past 237 years have
fluctuated from hard times to good times and back, through wars
(political or not), we have sustained. I believe that this is
because we have preserved our Constitution, despite the actions of our
elected politicians. In my opinion, we Americans are not a perfect
people. As a whole, we have to remind ourselves to be thankful for what
we have as we celebrate with parades, picnics and fireworks. However,
we Americans are a generous people as evidenced by our rush to help our
fellow man in disasters at home or, in fact, anywhere in the world.
I'd
like to take the time to thank our Military (active, including my eldest grandson, a new United States Marine, and our Veterans) for
the protections they afford us. We would not be able to freely
celebrate this day without their sacrifice.
