Happy Independence day USA!
celebrate America today
The Very Idea of America
The Fourth of July is about the very Idea of America.
We forget this sometimes. America wasn’t founded on a government, or a 
political system. All of that came much later.
It began with this beautiful idea, that our rights come from God. It began with 
this idea of a society based on these natural rights, on liberty, freedom, free 
enterprise, self-determination.
It is our duty to preserve this idea—this Great Experiment—and just as 
important, to preserve the spirit in which it was conceived.
That sacred pledge made on this day, they made it to each other. Everything 
depended on that. Everything after—every success, every sacrifice—came from 
that common cause.
Tocqueville thought this was the genius of our country. “Americans of all ages, 
all conditions, all minds constantly unite,” he wrote.

Every day, we unite in some small way. We forget this too.

We give back in our communities, we look for ways to solve problems, we look 
out for neighbors in need. Those things—civility and civil society—they are 
what connect us to one another. And by doing our part—whatever it may be—we 
keep this great experiment going.
So, celebrate America today. Fire up the grill. Light up the sky.
Charge up those Apple devices, and give thanks to GOD!
GOD Bless the USA! :)
