Today, our country celebrates its 233rd birthday. While not without periods of unrest and injustice, they are 233 years of relative peace. Years of democracy. Years of free and peaceful elections. Years of freedom of religion. Years of freedom of speech. 233 years of freedom.
In the midst of such freedoms, those same freedoms are easily, and often, overlooked. I hope you'll join me today and take some time to reflect on the costs that have been paid to secure our freedoms.
Thank you to my friends (and the millions and millions of others) who have served our country, whether in conflict or peacetime, and who have given so much to secure the freedoms we enjoy.
