independence

happy independence day!

i am so grateful i live in a country that is free. this holiday helps us remember that we are a nation full of people from all sides of the world, that work together as one. it is a time to reflect on the people who have fought for our freedoms. i am grateful that my voice can be heard and that my vote does make a difference. i am grateful for all the men and women of the air force, marine corps, navy, army, and coast guard that have fought and continue to fight for our country and rights. i am especially grateful for my grandparents and aunts and uncles who have served in the army, navy, and air force. what a sweet celebration this day truly is, and the fun parades we get to attend to show our respect for this beautiful nation. god bless america, truly.
