HAPPY 233RD BIRTHDAY , AMERICA!

Posted by gschroeder On July - 4 - 2009

flag-lGood Morning and Happy Fourth of July.  I had the opportunity to view the fireworks last night on Water Street and must say a fine job was done by all.

I ran into Mayor Harl and his wife and will admit one thing, Scott is definitely a “man of the people”.  He was greeting and shaking hands as if the election were tomorrow.  I applaud him and his energy and I think  he truly loves that part of the job.  He really appears to enjoy being around people!

I hope everybody takes some time today to recognize that we live in the greatest country in the world!

We have the best health care as evidenced by the fact that people worldwide come here for treatment.  We have the highest standard of living overall, we  enjoy  more freedoms than any other country, and people from all over the world in some cases, risk their lives,  to try and get here to give themselves and their families a chance at the American Dream!

I know we have our problems, and I know we always will be dealing with issues that need to be addressed to better our way of life, but I would not want to live any other place in the world.  It pains me to hear politicians complaining that we aren’t respected in the world community or we are imperialistic in our actions to bring liberty and freedom to oppressed people.

That’s not the America I see…I know that if we were not the last “Super Power” left standing and China or the USSR was this world would be a much darker place in which to live.

Thank you to all who have served and all who have died preserving our Nation and “God Bless America!”

Have a Great Holiday, in spite of the rain….
