To believe in the promise
of a better tomorrow,
and stand united in our efforts
to give a peaceful nation
to our children…
To honor each other’s differences
and cherish the richness of our history,
even as it continues to unfold
from sea to shining sea…
To love deeply
our friends and family, day by day,
and never take for granted
the privilege of calling ourselves American.
America —
we are more than a people,
we are a family.
Happy 4th of July!
** I'm spending July writing my blog posts in response to all of the wacky (and not so wacky) national and international holidays that occur during this month. Today's post was in response to July 4th. Shocker, right? ;)
*** This post was written in advance. I am out of town and working full time most of this month. I appreciate your understanding if I am slow to respond to comments and questions. :)
