I wish every person in America a safe and happy July 4th, and that they cherish the freedoms that we have living in this country. These freedoms came not without a price. Just as on Veterans Day, I salute those in the armed services who work hard for our country, as well as other countries in their quest for peace and freedom. Wishing you all a wonderful Fourth of July, filled with family, friends, barbecues, and the peace from knowing that we Americans live with liberties and justices that not every nation knows and enjoys! Here are some of my favorite Fourth of July Quotes.
"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism." ~ Erma Bombeck
"My God! How little do my countrymen know what precious blessings they are in possession of, and which no other people on earth enjoy!" ~Thomas Jefferson
"Freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die." ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
"It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you." ~ Author unknown, but sometimes attributed to M. Grundler
