Our Nations Birthday
Our Nation's Birthday
On July 4th, we celebrate probably the most important birthday to those of us who live in the US. July 4th, 1776 is the day we celebrate our Nations birthday.
For some this is just another day off, a day to watch fireworks, party with family and friends, have a few beers or take a little vacation. But there is so much more to celebrating our Nations birthday.
July 4th is an important day in our history. It is the day we should remember all of the rights and freedoms we have as Americans and enjoy them. Many made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure our freedom and freedom does not come cheap.
On our Nations birthday, we should take time to remember those who made those sacrifices. All of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence did not live to see what their sacrifices provided us.
In fact, 5 signers were captured by the British and tortured before they died. Twelve went home to find their dwellings ransacked and burned and nine fought and died from wounds or hardships of the war.
That is almost half the men who signed out nations greatest symbol of freedom. But they signed it anyway, knowing that in doing so, they were committing treason and could be sentenced to death if they were caught.
Some of us take this holiday for granted. Our Nations birthday, July 4th should be celebrated with family and friends.
Enjoy the fireworks and Bar-B-Q's, the picnics and the fun. But take time to remember those who put themselves at risk so we could live in a free country.
