Happy 4th of July everyone. Normally, I write something involving social media or public relations, and believe you me, I have a lot to update some of you on. However, today is the anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This was the day 234 years ago some of the most brilliant minds of their time set into motion what would become the greatest experiment in democracy the world had ever witnessed. The odds against our founding fathers was incredibly staggering. The Continental Army was not a group of soldiers. Many of them had never held a weapon before and yet, they managed to topple the most powerful army in the world. That takes guts, that takes determination, that takes hard work my friends.
Throughout the years, America has become the epitome of hard work. We have, through blood, sweat and tears become the superpower we are today. It is important that we remember that through hard work, the fruits of our labor are so much sweeter. We should remember who we are and the principles this country was built upon.
I could go into the darker chapters of our nation's history and maybe I should. I won't. Today is the day we celebrate this great nation of ours and stand up proudly to declare "I am an American." Try to remember what that used to mean, what it still means to some, what it should mean to many more.
