Today is the 4th of July. A day that most families will be celebrating by cooking outside on grills and having picnics then watching the fireworks at night. It is a day that we as Americans celebrate our Independence day. A Day that is recognized as the day the united States officially separated itself from British control with the signing of the Declaration Of Independence.
I know for some people the day has some greater meaning. I look at all the flags around as Americans young and old wave them in great pride today. i sit and listen to tributes being held throughout the various towns and areas around Charlotte, NC. for fallen soldiers from all branches of the military who gave their lives so that the flag could fly high.
I know as a veteran of the United States Army I was proud to serve and would have given my life to preserve the freedoms we have... Americans do everyday of our lives. We take a lot for granted sometimes. But one thing is for sure; as Americans we know and trust that the soldiers protecting us are doing so with the same passion and desire as the ones who helped us free ourselves from the British. for that reason I feel the Fourth of July is important.
Today, and this weekend, as you drive around and attend various outings in commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence; one variable stands out...no matter what your political affiliation, color of your skin, where you grew up at, whether you like someone or not; as Americans it seems we all come together on the fourth of July. be it at parades, outings or fireworks shows...it seems there is a little more courtesy among Americans today. As we remember today as the day we received our Independence.....
