I am writing this one the most historical day for our nation. In case you can't read the date listed above, it is July 4th. I have already expressed how much love I have for my country. It is just an amazing place. We are free here. We have the right to worship in whatever way we choose. we may say what we want to say, think what we want to think. I can not imagine a better place to live.
There are many people in our country that complain about how things are run. I must admit that there are many things with our government with which I do not agree, however, I am amazed time and time again that I have the right to disagree. I think that so many people today do not realize that the government they complain about is the same one that gives them the freedom to do so.
Tomorrow will be a great day. I am hoping to do some shopping with my friends, watch a few movies, have an amazing lunch/dinner, and watch fireworks from my front yard. When I watch the fireworks, I can't help but think of our National Anthem.
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"
". . . the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air," I just love it. It makes be think of the fireworks that light the night sky.
How grateful I am for those men and women who fight and die for my freedom. They work so hard, many giving their lives so that I can live freely. I would like to publicly thank the military men and women. You are angels here on earth. May God continue to bless you and your families.
I hope you all have a great holiday. Spend some time with your family. Have a great barbecue, and have fun! God bless America!
