Happy Birthday, America!

On the 4th of July, 1776, the greatest nation on the planet was born.  A document was signed by 57 men that helped to create what is now known as the United States of America.  Although, at that time, only 13 colonies were represented, around 3 and a quarter million people, today there are many more.  They come from all over the world.  Here, freedom and opportunity reigns for those who are willing to continue the sacrifice.  The fathers of this nation were accused of sedition and treason.  The British military forces were the greatest military power on earth.  They faced a people who had an idea....a dream ....a notion.  This new government had a vision of greatness.  This greatness translated into liberty and opportunity.  It is still here.  One just has to look for it.   Happy birthday, America!
