Its been a tumultuous time for all of us here in the United States of America. I wish that all political sides could get along better because its difficult watching everyone belittle and berate each other because of our opposing views. If I had to find a silver lining among our bickering I would say that we do have a common goal in mind when we do debate so vehemently, we all want a better America. There is no denying that the passion we hold for our beliefs is so we can create a better country for ourselves, our children and all future generations.
I ask that on this day we put aside the healthcare discussions, the political propaganda and the mudslinging and celebrate why we have the freedom and the right to be able to do it. Say the Pledge of Allegiance (as its meant to be said), sing the National Anthem, attend a fireworks ceremony and celebrate, peacefully, the great country we live in.
