On July 4, 1776, 237 years ago today, when this nation was born, the focus of our founding fathers was on the establishment of a country where people, free from tyranny and religious persecution, could engage in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness.
Over the years, much sacrifice has been made to protect the freedoms and values of this country. That sacrifice should never be forgotten.
Today, on Independence Day, the focus is quite different: hot dogs, fireworks, going to the lake, appliance sales, pops concerts and baseball games. But, thankfully, in America, those things represent life, liberty and happiness.
Happy 4th of July!
