INDEPENDENCE DAY!
It's Independence Day 2019!
America is still a young country, but in the last several hundred years, it has made an incredible mark on the world.
Our country was founded mostly by immigrants who came here from Europe and carved out of a wilderness a modern country that has been a beacon to the world.
Unfortunately, as with all things, there has to be a fly in the ointment. People today are not taught much American History and newcomers here have little understanding of what this country was/is all about.
Nevertheless, it is important to remember our past, because without it, our future is much clouded.
