Happy Independence Day
Today in America, is a holiday marked with cookouts, parades, concerts, music, fireworks and the timeless chant "Murica'." As we celebrate today, I invite everyone to remember the sacrifices of those in uniform. Not only for those in the military but our men and women in blue, the tireless work of firefighters, doctors and nurses, our educators and all the efforts of everyday citizens that contribute to what makes America such an amazing country.
It is important to remember today not only as our nation's independence but as a mark of the valiant efforts of immigrants in the great "melting pot" of America. It is a day to celebrate our freedoms and appreciate our differences and not allow them to divide us.
“Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
- - Abraham Lincoln
