As America celebrates its birthday, we should remember all the things that we have to be thankful for. The July 4th remembrance\u00a0is the day that our Declaration of Independence<\/a> was adopted\u00a0by the Continental Congress<\/a> in 1776, 245 years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It was in Philadelphia, and the signers of that document, composed primarily by Thomas Jefferson, knew that this declaration of independence <\/a>from what they considered the dictatorial rule of Great Britain. It might\u00a0also be – literally – their death sentence.\u00a0Yet they put their signatures, and their lives, their families, their destiny, on that parchment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The importance of July 4th remembrance, then, is that it marks the birth of the United States of America. The impossible dream of a one nation, with unalienable rights endowed equally to all – among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness….<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Surely this is a time for ALL of us to really cherish that original dream, the one for which so many have died, to individually and collectively re-declare our allegiance to the blood-bought foundation of government of, by, and for the people. . . .<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

ALL people who are determined to live free.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Happy and Safe 4th of July,\u00a0Yvonne<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
