Independence: “freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others; the state or quality of being independent.” It’s hard to imagine this great nation being dependent on anyone. In this great land of ours people are FREE to think, speak, work, live and act in a manner that seems right to them. The pursuit of liberty and happiness is our God given right. But that right didn't come cheap. Many people have paid a heavy price so that you and I can boldly express the freedom that we enjoy. We should show some gratitude this weekend and honor those past and present who sacrificed, so that we can follow our dreams-- whatever they may be. Most people in the world don’t enjoy such freedom. Salute!
Catch it, come alive, pass it on.
