July 4, 2010 – Independence Day

Thoughts from others for today.  In the meantime, enjoy today.  Enjoy it’s meaning.  Enjoy your surroundings and your freedom and the security often overlooked but so appreciated in both.

……………………………………………..

This, then, is the state of the union:  free and restless, growing and full of hope.  So it was in the beginning.  So it shall always be, while God is willing, and we are strong enough to keep the faith.  ~Lyndon B. Johnson

………………………………………………..

You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness.  You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.  ~Erma Bombeck

……………………………………………….

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.  ~Abraham Lincoln

………………………………………….

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
~Lee Greenwood

……………………………………………

Different perspectives.  Different thoughts.  All worth reading today.
