Fireworks, burgers, dogs, the beach and parades are all great fun and a joy to take part in, because we can.
We celebrate today because we have:
The Declaration of Independace
The Constitution of the United States
The Bill of Rights
We have men and women who have died to preserve and defend these rights.
I was speaking to a guest at the restaurant Sunday morning. His accent suggested that his country of origin was probably Eastern Bloc. I asked him how his Sunday was going, his reply,
"It's great to wake up in a country where you are free," a direct quote from a grateful man.
Let's all celebrate and be thankful.
Happy 4th of July
