On July 4th, 1776, a group of brave men signed the Declaration of Independence, saying that the English colonies were no longer under the tyranny of George III. What does this mean in 2006, two hundred thirty years later?
Tuesday will be a day off from work for some, and mega sales at the malls. There will be the requisite barbecues with the all-American hotdogs, hamburgers, soda pop, beer and maybe even “mom’s apple pie.” Fire works displays put on by various organizations, concerts such as the “Pops Goes the Fourth” televised for those who can’t be in New England. Do we really appreciate what we are able to celebrate here in the U.S.A.?
We Americans must stop and reflect on what we have as a nation. Our forefathers were not perfect but they stood for what they felt was right. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness ~ a dream that the whole world would like to pursue.
Enjoy your holiday!
