Independence Day, for many American families, is a tradition that involves food, friends and fireworks. Unfortunately, as with many holidays, it’s easy to lose sight of why we are celebrating.
The United States of America was born because its founders believed in a series of principles and ideas. Having escaped religious persecution in Europe, the first non-native Americans were firm defenders of liberty, freedom and opportunity.
These concepts are the bedrock of our country’s rich history, and have guided us throughout the years since we declared our independence from Britain. Although we haven’t always lived up to these ideals, the American spirit to strive for perfection has always prevailed.
Ultimately, the genius of our country lies in its people. From the immigrants that came with the first pilgrims from England who wanted a better life and founded America to today’s immigrants that have left their homelands and their families in search of a better future. America is a melting pot as these new immigrants become Americans and start blending in as they learn our countries history, customs, and language.
So enjoy the holiday as you barbeque and gather with your friends and family. But take a moment to consider how you got here and what a blessing it is to live in such a diverse, rich, and safe country.
