Special holiday message - Fourth of July
The fourth of July is not only a day of drinks, cookouts, camping & late night fireworks, but it's more of a day of recognition for all the great & bold action that helped create who we are today.
To me, however, it’s a celebration of what we did in the past rather than where we are going in the future. As Americans, I feel that we celebrate things by commemorating them instead of living up to them. We commemorate those that died on the Fourth to give us our freedom, but at the same time, we don’t recognize our freedom that we have & when we do recognize our freedom, we sometimes take it for granted. You need to understand that freedom isn't free & we should always give honor & thanks to those who paid that price for us. I do believe that the Fourth should still be a day where people come together to cookout, hangout & watch fireworks. However, cookouts, hangouts & fireworks should be done in memorial & celebration of our independence, & not just for the sake of it. In my opinion, people should honor the Fourth every day of their lives & should not allow the actions of our forefathers to be naught or forgotten. We should salute & give thanks to each & everyone of our troops for their strength, courage, determination & their ultimate sacrifice to keep us safe. You will never be forgotten.
Happy Fourth of July :)
