Happy Fourth Of July

To many today is a day off from work. A time to spend a day with friends and family, while we celebrate the beginning of America. It should also be a day to reflect and remember what this nation means to each American and to people all across the world. America, with all of its issues and problems is still the symbol of hope and freedom for everyone. We are a proud people. We are a believing people. We are a hopeful people. We are a forgiving people. We are a hard working people. We are a caring people. We have many special attributes, that may be shared by others, but what has made us special is that we would aways place America first. We need to get back to that. When we listen to the patriot music blaring across our nation today, as we watch the colorful explosions of fireworks today, as we get a lump in our throats and tears in our eyes, remember what it is to be American. Not Irish-American. Not African-American. Not Spanish-American. Just simply, American.  Yesterday I asked whether, America is worth saving. I asked what you were going to do, on your part to save America. Jon, from "The SOG City Oracle, blog", which I suggest you follow, (click on my profile and you will find it under blogs I follow) stated that he was going to vote in 2012. That is simply, the most important thing all of us can do. My suggestion is to take the time, like Jon does, and become informed about the politician and issues. I want to hear more. This is too important to let slip past us. Enjoy your day. Celebrate our freedom. Rejoice in the American Dream. Then tomorrow let us all pledge to becoming one people, under God, indivisible and lift America to the next summit in our history. God bless America.
