To me July 4th is the most important American holiday
to celebrate. Independence Day celebrates the wish of the people to be free
from authoritarian control over their lives. It was so important that we rebelled
with arms against our motherland to recognize the seriousness of our desires
and from that conflict our beautifully conceived and timeless Constitution of
the United States became the law of the land.
I won’t lecture our constitution, but will provide a link so
that US readers can take a minute to refresh their memories of what we
celebrate, and so interested citizens of other countries can see from where our
laws are derived.
Happy Independence Day, and please consider our pets and combat vets when setting off fireworks.
