The Fourth of July means family and cook-outs. It means fireworks and friends. It means trying to stay up late and singing songs about America. It means warm weather and good food to eat. It means swimming and laughing and relaxing. But it means a lot more. It means freedom. Freedom to do all these things that make summer, this day in particular, fun. It means having the right to spend this day as we choose and not risk persecution for showing our patriotism. It means having the right to say whatever we want and become whoever we dream.
Just as a reminder, to myself as well as others, here's a little bit from a song we all know and love by Lee Greenwood:
I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. I won't forget the men who died who gave that right to me and I proudly stand up next to you and defend her still today. There ain't no doubt I love this land, God bless the U.S.A.!!!!!!
I'm proud to be an American, how about you????
Today, as always, God bless the U.S.A. and God bless you!
