We live in a great
country! Sure, we are currently facing
some challenges, but freedom, independence, and opportunity abound in the
United States of America. This past
weekend we celebrated independence. What
does independence mean to you?
Obviously, we were not around when this country was under the rule of
the British. So, what does it mean to us
to have independence today? Consider the
ability to speak your mind freely. What
about our freedom to worship as we choose?
We can also live, work and travel wherever we want in this great land. These are fundamental liberties that we often
take for granted. You do not have to
spend much time in other parts of the world to truly understand the meaning of
independence and more specifically freedom.
The few freedoms that I mentioned above, are not available in many parts
of the world and those are just a few that we enjoy. We are free because of the foresight of our
founding fathers 240 years ago, and because of the protection provided by our
armed services for all those years.
I hope you enjoyed your
Independence Day! Do not forget what it really means.
