Well, yesterday was the 4th of July, the birthday of this country. 239 years ago, our founders decided that Life, Liberty and Pursuit of happiness were the real freedoms of this world, and so proclaimed them to the world.
As Americans, we live the hopeful life of probable wealth. Only here, in this nation of dreams, can a nobody excel and become a somebody. We have this opportunity afforded us simply by being a citizen, and living according to the doctrines and rules of those first great American men, men who dreamt of complete personal freedom and the means to support oneself entirely.
As we celebrate this weekend, we should remember all those brave men and women who have labored before us to give us the lifestyle we have now, and we should strive to give our children the best we can for their futures too.
God bless America! God shed His grace on thee!

PS - did anyone else notice that our President was out-of-the-country on it's birthday? I did ... and I have to ask ... who planned that trip?

That's hilarious that the President was gone. That was lame... maybe he'll stay gone more often... :-)
