More Than Fireworks and Parades

The Fourth of July is a major event, a pivitol event in the American summer...time is determined leading up to the Fourth and summer seems to slide downhill very fast after it. Families vacation, picnic, travel, celebrate with parades, concerts and fireworks to commemorate the birth of a great nation where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are goals available to all.  The ideals of freedom and justice come not easily and a concentrated effort has been made in our 242 year old history to preserve them, requiring as much effort, even bloodshed, it seems as it first did to establish them.  In 1954 the phrase, "under God" was added to our pledge of allegiance, and rightly so, for only with God and guided by God "through the night with the light that shines from above" can we maintain such lofty goals. God bless America, our home sweet home!
