I cry when I listen to this song, but I feel pride at the same time.
I’m celebrating my country today, its Independence, its beauty, and essential goodness. You all know that about half of the population says that they aren’t profoundly proud of the United States of America, and it is sad that a large proportion of Americans don’t know our history, and don’t know what we celebrate today, and why.
The USA is the Great Experiment of Freedom and, as Ben Franklin once said, responding to a question, “Well, what have we got – a Republic or a Monarchy?”,
A Republic, if you can keep it.
National Pride is making a comeback.Β Globalism is in decline, and I truly hope that trend continues. Can we restore our Republic? It’s possible, but we have a lot of work to do.
So let’s celebrate today. Let’s fly our flags, watch a parade, eat a celebratory meal with our family, enjoy the fireworks. At the same time, let’s recommit ourselves to the battle ahead – a battle for the country we love. We should join with our fellow citizens, setting aside our minor differences, to uphold and restore the important things about being an American.
One of my favorites, celebrating our country.

Happy July Fourth!
This day is unique because it separates the words cherish and despise;
In this quiet fashion it is the most revealing.
Thank you to all who have served.

Love that song, Stella! Powerful lyrics. After 9-11 when it would play on the radio, it would really get to me. I think having our most patriotic President ever, which I firmly believe God had his hand in, it means even more. Have a beautiful 4th of July! πΊπΈππΊπΈ

I remember when I was 7 or 8 years old being in my bed at night and thanking God that I was born in the USA. I still feel that way.
