You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism. ~Erma Bombeck
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and safe Fourth of July. We pride ourselves on being a diverse country. With that diversity comes various cultural, religious and philosophical beliefs. Unfortunately, sometimes these differences in beliefs lead to fear, anger and even hatred.
July 4th, Independence Day is perhaps the only day where all Americans are on the same page. Today should be a day where we put aside those differences and celebrate the common thread that unites us, our freedom. No matter what differences of opinion we may have, remember that the only reason you are allowed to have those differences is because you live in a free country.
