Happy 250th Birthday United States of America!
I am blessed to live in the USA. We are still the richest and most powerful nation in the world. But more importantly, I'm allowed to worship as I please. I am able to express myself and criticize our leaders as I see fit due to the Bill of Rights of this great land.
We are passionate about how our nation should be run. We are more divided now than I remember when we celebrated the Bicentennial on Sunday, July 4, 1976. But in the end, we are all still Americans wanting the very best for our democracy, our heirs and future generations of Americans.
We are one of the longest running democracies in the history of this world. This has been accomplished through the sacrifice of thousands upon thousands of patriots going back to the Revolution against the British. It continues today with our troops deployed in Iran and other Middle East hot-spots. The brave men and women of our military paid the ultimate price for our liberty. I have no good way of sufficiently expressing my gratitude to them and to those who have served in conflicts such as the War of 1812, the Spanish American War, World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and now Iran. I say thank you to all of our armed forces, past and present! Because of you, I'm able to live in what I truly believe is the greatest nation in the history of the world! Happy Semi-quincentennial America! May God bless America! Long may she stand!
