We the People Cherish Freedom

As we celebrate Independence Day with barbecues, picnics, parades, raft races, and fireworks, let us reflect upon our country and why it is so great after 238 years. It is its people. We have always stood up for freedom, democracy and following the Constitution written by great men. And more times than not, there is a heavy price to pay to keep those liberties we hold so dear. We should never forget that price and the lives that were sacrificed for those liberties since the Revolutionary War where up to 50,000 American lives were lost. In Vietnam there were 58,220 U.S. service members who died to stop communism.  U.S. intervention is and has been going on all over the world today to ensure our liberty and freedom.  The only thing we won't/can't seem to handle is border control, our sovereignty, all because of politics.

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty. ~ John F. Kennedy

Have a safe and happy Independence Day folks and Happy Birthday America.
