American Independence…


…the envy of the world. We enjoy the barbecues, the parades, the glorious fireworks and celebrations. In the words of John Adams, "It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty."
However, I pray that we may never forget the sacrifices and the price paid now and in the past that gave us the privilege and honor to celebrate this great nation and the birth of freedom and independence. The sacrifices made to give us freedom and independence from tyranny, oppression, and persecution…the freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. May God always bless this great land of ours and may we never forget the true meaning of this day. Happy Independence Day!
