Happy Birthday America
Happy 250th Birthday America!
Today I’m more grateful than anything to have been born here and I’m proud to be an American. The people who came here before us came with and idea that became a country.
Today isn’t about the exact history, dramas, or successes but about the idea of creating a union dedicated to certain rights like life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness under God. My personal opinion is that this structure wasn’t our doing but instead a collective and powerful display of faith in the face of fear. It was that same faith, ingenuity, and grace that helped our ancestors put a man on the moon, defeat evil regimes, be safe harbor to those building better lives, and be a foundational building block that holds the world together. Within that idea, there’s a responsibility on our generation to keep doing the same and to understand the principles we were founded on and choose to live by.
Eat some hotdogs, and remember to have fun responsibly. Right now there are some people who will wake up tomorrow without a hand as a result of playing with fireworks. Choose hands. I hope everyone reading has a happy 4th of July!
