Two quotes I love, that truly are the essence of this holiday.
“No other date on the calendar more potently symbolized all that our nation stands for than the Fourth of July.” ~ Mac Thronberry
“It will be celebrated…with pomp and parade…bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.” ~ John Adams
May you enjoy the holiday, celebrate with friends & family, but not forget to take a moment and realize how privileged you are to live in America!
