As the United States celebrates our July 4th weekend, 245 years of what it means to be a true American is ever more present.
Our nation’s Flag, which shows 50 White stars on a Blue background and 13 Red & White stripes, is a symbolic reminder of what America stands for and where our journey began almost two and a half centuries ago.
How might we continuously improve and defend our Nation, as new global opportunities emerge and new challenges are understood?
What is certain, are the words written in our Declaration of Independence in 1776. As the world views and listens to the “United States of America”, what does it see and hear?
If you asked ten people at a 4th of July parade in “Anytown, USA” on Sunday:
What is Independence Day and what does it mean? How many people asked would know the correct answer?
When the author of the Declaration of Independence became our third President, he knew the country was in for tremendous challenges ahead. What was his name?
Did you get the question correct?
Thomas Jefferson, was a Lawyer and a Christian. He was just 33 year old and our Revolutionary War had just started, when his famous words were written for a formal declaration of independence.
Our U.S. Constitution was not signed until 11 years later in 1787.
As you celebrate this unique American Holiday, think deeply about our history…
Think about all those Americans who have died, in their allegiance to our Flag and the Constitution of the United States.
Americans who have died so you too, could truly experience freedom…
