Today we celebrate the independence of our nation from its colonial master. We celebrate the separation of our government from the hereditary line of royalty and began the process that put our fate into the hands of elected officials. This is a day to remember our history and to look to our future.
Oh, and we get to play with various pyrotechnics.
Our Independence festivities are covering a three-day period this year. Last night we watched the Jackson fireworks with several friends and with various snacks bought from the Polly's store whose parking lot we were using. Today we played a D&D campaign with a large group of friends and I grilled the traditional hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch. Tomorrow nearly all of my family will gather together, I will grill again, and we will watch more fireworks, this time while in a boat on a lake.
As all of us are celebrating, I hope that we take the time to reflect on our country's heritage, present, and possibilities. We are part of an amazing nation with great potential. May our nation be a beacon of hope and liberty for the world through the ages.
And may the fireworks be impressive ... and not dangerous.
