Happy 4th of July weekend
July 3, 2009 by Nicki
I hope everyone is having a happy and safe holiday weekend. July 4th is without a doubt one of my favorite holidays. It is the birthday of our nation — or, as I see it, the birthday of the greatest nation on earth. To quote President Ronald Reagan:
“There have been revolutions before and since ours, but those revolutions simply exchanged one set of rules for another. Ours was a revolution that changed the very concept of government.
Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people.
“We sometimes forget that great truth, and we never should.”
We never should — truer words have never been spoken.
As we all enjoy the festivities, food, and games this weekend, let us all take some time to reflect on the events that precipitated this country’s independence and the freedoms that we enjoy. Let us remember that with freedom comes responsibility — if we don’t like the way things are going in this country, that it is our responsibility to make a change.
Let us also remember those who have given their lives to defend our freedom, and those who are fighting for them still.

The independence day is truly an unforgettable event for a nation who has already got a freedom. There are thankfulness, happiness, and hopes. I herewith would like to mention “Happy Anniversary to the United States of America.” I also hope that the USA people will soon get rid of the economic crisis.
Well…i had a great 4th July and i’m proud to be americn and celebrate our freedom and independence
