Lorraine Strieby says Happy Independence Day!
Our forefathers when they signed the Declaration of Independence,they knew if Commander George Washington didn't win the war with England, the most powerful country in the world, they would be tried for treason. It took 5 more years to win the war making our nation truly an independent nation.
Our original states and the people therein wanted freedom from tyrany. Have we forgotten our history and our men and women who fought for our freedom?
In keeping with this, here are some words that President Reagan spoke on January 5, 1967:
tThe deteriation of every government begins with the decay of the principle upon which it was founded,
He also said
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
Im glad Independence Day rolls around every year, Yea! we can't forget our history and our forefathers.
In keeping with that, the USA is also a REPUBLIC meaning that we the public elect our representives in each individual state--both large and small, two senators each.
Clever, yes? The smaller states have equal power with the more populated states.
Independence Day rolls around every year,reminding us of how our ancestors made a free nation. our forefathers, and our history.
