Celebrate what unites us this Independence Day

Posted

OPINION — Next weekend we celebrate Independence Day. As we enjoy the many freedoms that are unique to this country, let us give thanks to God for the right to worship in the manner that we, as individuals, see fit.

Let us also thank all who help preserve these liberties – that includes civic and civil leaders such as lawyers, judges, mayors, state legislators, congressmen and federal Senators and bureaucrats at town/city, county, state and federal levels as well as active duty service members, National Guard and reservists.

Please take a moment to think about all those things that make this country great – not just great, but the greatest nation ever. We have more that unites us than divides us. Please think of the positive things and, for just one day, dwell on the common items and forget the differences.

Happy Independence Day. Happy 4th of July. Happy 250th Birthday.
