Sometimes, we take for granted why our fathers first came to this great country. In search of opportunity, some traversed great distances ; for others, it was to escape the constraints of the past; while thousands came for adventure and ,unfortunately, too many came against their will … but through conflict and time comes resolution … and this has helped to further define and shape us into who we are today… a strong, wise, adaptable and generous people.
Looking back, the world has changed much since 1776 when America became the first land of choices and dreams…. and hope. And thanks to the sacrifices of those who met the challenges of the past, America still exists today.
Enjoy today, for July 4th is a birthday we in America all share…. and whether you celebrate this birthday or not with me, this too — in America — is your choice.

PS. I only wish there was a championship football game playing… then it would be perfect!
