It makes me joyful when I hear these words coming from a happy crowd. I see this as an expression of pride in our great country, which is the end product of the greatest experiment in human history. A new nation conceived with a totally new concept.
A nation, with an untried form of government. A government created of the people, by the people, and for the people, and which gives all men, the great and the small, the rich, the poor, the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
This year will be the 250th year since our country’s founding. The world said that such a radical form of government, country, could never last. It couldn’t survive for long without a king. Kings had ruled the earth for countless centuries.
To this son of an uneducated, dirt poor immigrant farmer, the words that follow might just be more important than to most.
I have been blessed to live the American Dream to the fullest in the military, business, finances, education, family, health and a long life. Is there more?
Read these beautiful words slowly and carefully.
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Abraham Lincoln
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
Declaration of Independence
…That they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
Martin Luther King
Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
The Statue of Liberty
Just one of the many miracles of this great land: We come here from every corner of the globe with different faiths, creeds, customs, beliefs and skin colors, yet we are able to become one people and live in peace and harmony with love and respect for one another.
The quotations from great men written here are beautiful.
I’m a grown man, a veteran, and consider myself a “macho” man. Yet these words touch my emotional buttons. If men were allowed to cry, I would probably shed a tear. And in battle if I saw my brothers bleeding and about to die, I know that I would surely cry.
250 years ago, a few brave men put their very lives on the line by signing a document of independence. Independence from the world's mightiest empire. The penalty for treason was a sure death by hanging or decapitation. Young men, clerks and untrained farmers dared to fight the world's strongest and best trained soldiers of the world's greatest power. On every 4th of July, we celebrate their victory, which was won miraculously against all odds.
They fought to create one great nation, under God. Oh does that star spangled banner still wave o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
National Anthem
Happy birthday America. Stay strong. Without you there cannot be peace on earth, goodwill towards men.
From the mountains, to the prairies, to the oceans white with foam, God bless America, my home, sweet home.
Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
- John F. Kennedy
Happy birthday America. Happy birthday USA.
And when we fight our country’s wars, there is only one blood type in the battlefield. It’s American blood.
And when you see old glory flying, know that a million men shed their blood and died to keep it flying there.
Now lets celebrate our joyful birthday from sea to shining sea.
America, America God truly shed His grace on thee.
