Happy Birthday U.S.

Today is the 44th time that I have celebrated this wonderful holiday. This holiday is more than wars and battles, indeed this everyone's holiday. There are many roles that make up this country and keep it ever growing and maturing.

From soldiers to mail men, to bakers, to teachers, to Police and Firemen. All walks of life contribute to this wonderful country that we celebrate. That is something we as Americans can and should always take pride.

Our country protects many of our civil rights and responsibility. Yes we have responsibilities too. To know and uphold the laws of our country and be careful not to violate them. To support and respect elected officials even if you did not vote for them. To be a shining representative when interacting with people from other countries.

So may God bless America! And may she remain the beacon of hope and a reminder of what Freedom and Faith can achieve.
