The Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. I know some of you are thinking that its because its my birthday. But its not. I love America and what it stands for. I love Freedom. I love Choice. I love Liberty. I love the story of America. I love the courage of our Founding Fathers. The fact that America IS, is nothing short of a MIRACLE. It is heartbreaking to see the direction we are headed. Our freedoms are being tossed away based on lies and unsound principles. It's discouraging. Yet I love to honor those who have carried the torch of freedom. I honor our soldiers, and I also honor their wives and children. They make a huge sacrifice, that you can't quite understand unless you've been there. I lack eloquence in writing and speech, but my heart is full of admiration for every TRUE American. God bless America!
If our country is worth dying for in time of war let us resolve that it is truly worth living for in time of peace. ~Hamilton Fish
This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.

How often we fail to realize our good fortune in living in a country where happiness is more than a lack of tragedy. ~Paul Sweeney
When an American says that he loves his country, he means not only that he loves the New England hills, the prairies glistening in the sun, the wide and rising plains, the great mountains, and the sea. He means that he loves an inner air, an inner light in which freedom lives and in which a man can draw the breath of self-respect. ~Adlai Stevenson
We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls. ~Robert J. McCracken
My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy! ~Thomas Jefferson
