As we come to the anniversary of our nations freedom some people look at it as a time to get together and bbq, drink and hang with friends as well as light off fireworks. But its alot more than that. In the world we live in today we have to fight everyday for our freedom. We have to strive to remain the best country in the world. Some would argue that we are no longer the greatest country but we as American can look and see that we are in fact still the greatest place to live. We have the right to be free, the right to practice our own religion, the right to own guns (thank you supreme court) and the right to a fair trial for our crimes. However we are slowly losing our right or giving them up i should say. We no longer take any action to help our selves. To many people are waiting on our government to save them . One of our greatest Presidents said once "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your Country" Many people fought and died for our freedoms and for US THE PEOPLE to be able to speak our mind. While we are still and always will be a country of laws we still hold the power to make this a better place.
So while you are at your BBQ's and firework shows or just sitting at home enjoying a day off work, Remember the reason for the day. Remember the people who died to make this a free country. Remember the soldiers who have died in IRAQ and Afghanistan to keep you free.
Its not just July 4th 1776 that we should remember. It 9-11-2001 and every day there after because in my opinion we still fight to keep our freedom everyday!
Have a safe and happy 4th of July everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
