This Saturday, America once again celebrates the birth of our nation, usually with fireworks, parades, picnics and gathering together with family and friends. But let us always remember the reason for the celebration.
“…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
As Americans, we have rights that so many people around the world can’t even imagine having; freedom of speech to express our thoughts and opinions on blogs like this with no repercussions; opportunities that are only limited by how hard we’re willing to work.
Read the Declaration of Independence with your kids and remind them of how very fortunate we all are to be Americans.
Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
Definitely. Glad to see someone reminding people about why we celebrate.
