As bad as our government is, we will always love this country for what it has given us- freedom, self-determination, and prosperity.
And no matter what happens, we will always remember our ancestors, who fought against the largest empire in history on the open field of battle. Back then, it was literally a field; two armies would stand opposed to one another, and simply fire back and forth at each other until one side ran out of men or retreated. In a time when war was decided primarily by numbers, the original Americans decided to sign up to fight a world superpower armed with nothing more than tactics, determination, and luck. It's one thing to be a soldier in the modern day, when you're protected by an air force, tanks, and nuclear warheads. It's another to be one armed with nothing more than Old Glory, and a single-shot rifle which then has to be reloaded.
Enjoy this day, and enjoy the rest of White Boy Summer. Spend time with friends and family, go to parades, and watch the fireworks. Remember the sacrifices the Founders made, and know that soon we will be asked to make the same ones.
God bless you, and God bless America.
