It is time to ring the "Liberty Bell" and celebrate the birth of our nation!
As we follow tradition and celebrate Independence Day in these great United States of America; we are reminded of our proudest secular holiday.
On July 4, 1776, the continental congress assembled in the state of Philadelphia and announced that it had adopted the Declaration of Independence from the mother country, Great Britain. Two constitutions were adopted. These adoptions guaranteed that all people were created equal.. And that the government would protect the unalienable rights. of all of its citizens.
Our greatest challenge is to understand and appreciate the gravity of the sacrifices made by our founders in an effort to gain the privileges we enjoy today.
On Independence Day, we are once again reminded of the liberties we share. Our gratitude should be deepened as we remember the price others paid to help obtain and sustain our freedom. Many of our citizens who paid high prices for freedom and the cause of liberty have been forgotten.
No matter what else may be demanding our attention during this solemn holiday let us take time to remember the un-payable debt we owe forgotten warriors who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we often take for granted.
We must always remember how abundantly blessed we are as citizens of these great United States of America.
On this 4 th day of July as we celebrate our freedom americans around the globe are gathering for observances. Heartfelt greetings are being expressed. Patriotic songs ring out as bells toll.
As we observe this glorious holiday season with Red White and Blue flags soaring across our nation; Stars and Stripes validate the rights of man to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. God Bless America!

Happy Fourth of July Jena.Yes, it is imperative that we will never forget how abundantly we are blessed as citizen of this great nation.Well written, thanks for sharing.Best regards to you and yours,NenitaI appreciate your comments. I hope you had a wonderful 4th. Have a blessed day.
Great article. Well done.You have fell into the trap of calling Britain England - remember that it was Brittan that colonised America not England. This is because of the union of crowns in 1707.Oh, one other thing do you know how many people signed the declaration of independence?Hi Connor, Thanks for the correction about England.By the way, according to what I was taught by History teachers back in the day...... The Declaration of Independence was signed by a total of 56 men. Hope you had a happy 4th.Yes, It was signed by a total of 56 men. But not on July 4th: it was signed by only two -Charles Thomson and John Hancock.Hi Connor,Thanks a lot for sharing added details. I am one who has an insatiable thirst for knowledge. I surround myself with hundreds of books which I realize will take a lifetime to read. I am oftentimes referred to as a bookworm because I want to learn everything there is to know about everything....... so I tend to soak up every bit of learning I can possibly attain. Have a great day.
Thank you for the article and let a chinese business man know more about America.Good luck,God Bless America,Wish the California State break through the economic crisis.I appreciate your comments sir. I share your thoughts concerning our economy,not only in California but all over these great United States of America. We willovercome these trying days.... We must remember that God, ...(who is in charge ofeverything).... will make a way out of this seemingly "No Way Out Tunnel" in Hisown time and in His own way. I try to see every experience as a test. I believe Heoften test our faith to see who will be able to stand and continue to hold on to Hisunchanging hands. "The effective fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much"Keep Hope Alive!
Wonderfully stated!We are indeed fortunate to be citizens in the US, even with all the problems.Thanks Ken,Yes our country is financially stressed for the time being. I am convinced that we will survive this crisis. America has faced many challenges and we will face many more but we are strong. We will be able to see a light at the end of the tunnel and come through it victoriously.
Jena, thanks for the reminder of how great our country is and all of the sacrifice to make it so.Hi Rob,Thanks for reading my article. Our beautiful United States of America is down right now...but we are without a doubt.... not out! We will come back to our rightful place in the world even stronger than ever. Have a great day.
