God Bless America-1

On Independence Day, I’m reminded of the unalienable rights our Founding Fathers declared for the American people: the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our nation was built on the unshakable belief in freedom, a belief that still rings true today.

Even in times of division, it’s important to remember what unites us. We are a people who have always defended our homeland and believed in the promise that anyone—regardless of their background—can rise and succeed through hard work and determination.

That’s only made possible because of our freedom. And that freedom is never guaranteed—it must be protected and preserved by each generation. From our founding to today, brave men and women have always stepped forward to defend the ideals we now celebrate. As we gather with friends and family, watch fireworks, and enjoy the many blessings of our great nation, let’s also take this moment to honor those who laid down their lives for our freedom. 

May we continue striving toward a more perfect union, may we be grateful for our freedom, and may God always bless the United States of America!
