Treasure the Legacy For Which We Stand For and Happy 4th of July

Raise your flag wear your red white and blue Commemorate independence and keep it close to you Have a cook out or go to a parade Never forget the sacrifice others have made Observe the holiday take pride in America’s liberty But remember always freedom doesn’t come free Gather with friends and family to celebrate in your own way Honor democracy on the nations birthday See the fireworks as they light up the sky Treasure the legacy for which we stand for and happy 4th of July

Good patriotic write, Kevin. It indeed would be nice if everyone honored democracy including politicians. It is tantamount to the very nature of democracy
