I really do love the Fourth Of July. I haven't celebrated all that much in the past few years, but I vow to celebrate more in the years to come!
What I love about being an American:
1. our amazing history
2. The principles our nation is founded on
3. Our unique traditions and customs!
4. that being American is not about a shared ethnic history or similarity in appearance, but a group united by a set of ideals
5. That this really still is the land of opportunity!
I shall conclude with the lesser known, but most kick ass verse of the Star Spangled Banner (the 4th verse)..
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
