Happy 4th of July!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just think of how hard it has been to get here, first the Revolution that started this country. Then the writing of the Constitution.
Next came the War of 1812, when the British burnt Washington DC.
After that came the Louisiana Purchase by Thomas Jefferson, and the Lewis and Clarke expedition.
And at some point we had some trouble with Mexicans over Texas, that was finished.
Then came the worst calamity America had ever know, the Civil War! Our nation was torn in two by violent fighting that lasted for several years. Eventually the Union won, but then our great President Lincoln was killed. The repair of our country took years and years.
Next came the First World War in which many of our American boys died on European soil.
After that came the Great Depression, that caused thousands of families to be turned out into the street.
And then came the hardest of all, World War Two, the bloodiest and worst war yet.
But somehow America has managed to survive in spite of all of those tragedies and obstacles, and I’ll tell you why. Because this nation was founded on godly principles and ideas. That all men are equal, that we are all entitled to freedom of speech and freedom of religion. That all men are held accountable under God to try and make the world a better place.
But there are those that would take away our freedom, for years the enslaved world has tried to destroy this free and beautiful nation, because they hate what we stand for. Now even some of our own government would try to make this nation like so many others where the government gives us our “Do’s” and “Don’t's”. Hardly anybody wants us to be patriotic anymore, the idea now is to be anti-American. Because they know that if we become patriotic again that we will actually start to take a stand for the truth in what we believe in.
So this Fourth of July remember and proclaim this, that this is a great nation under God, but it will only remain so if we continue to work hard to keep it that way. GOD BLESS AND KEEP THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
