America’s Birthday

Thirty Fourth Post: America’s Birthday

As you, the reader, knows Today 07-04-05 is America’s birthday. The day that she claimed independence from Britain by means of “The Declaration of Independence.” You can read it at http://www.usacitylink.com/usa/ . This is a good, patriotic site and also has links to “The Constitution of the United States of America.”

Today is a day of celebration, but also a day of recognition as to what America stands for. Who makes America? “We the people” do. As a song, “We The People” by Billy Ray Cyrus states:

“We the people move it – We the people know – We the people – We run the Country”

Simply Stated the people of the United States are the United States. It comes with both rights and responsibilities. And today is the day we remember those rights and responsibilities.
