Today Brenda and I celebrated with  what seemed to be all of Prescott on the town square at this years fourth of July parade.

It was great to celebrate the 4th with such a neat little town.

On July 4, 1776, we claimed our independence from Britain and Democracy was born. Every day thousands leave their homeland to come to the “land of the free and the home of the brave” so they can begin their American Dream.

The United States is truly a diverse nation made up of dynamic people.  My wife was born in Switzerland and my family history is from somewhere in East Germany….but we all made here and today we celebrate living together in one amazingly diverse nation.

Each year on July 4, Americans celebrate that freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings.

Happy Birthday, America!

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
