Being “American” means something different to many people. Ultimately, if you were not born and raised here with a family history of at least 250 years, you cannot really call yourself a true American! That being said certainly there are many people who have gained citizenship that love this country and should be respected as long as they uphold the constitution.
No I am not going to lecture about immigration. I respect those who have taken the time to enter this country legally and take that next step to citizenship my ancestry hails predominantly from Scotland and they came in as early as 1662.
This is about what we are celebrating, and actually, we should not be celebrating until August 2 because that is when the Declaration of Independence was actually signed by all delegates during the Revolutionary War. Whenever you celebrate Independence Day, it is still important.
This Independence Day is just as important as the first one. With the extreme heat, take precautions if you are planning to be outside.
As for me, I will be safe inside but still remembering the events of that first Independence Day.
Be safe
Be respectful
Put God first as He is the real reason we have any form of Freedom.
