Happy Fourth of July!

"Yesterday the greatest question was decided...and a greater question perhaps never was nor will be decided among men. A resolution was passed without one dissenting colony, that these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states."
~John Adams, Letter to his wife Abigail Adams on July 3, 1776~

We're a hodgepodge of people thrown together as one nation.

We each have our own story, our personal background of how we ended up here on these shores.

We don't agree on religion, politics or creed.

We argue over immigration, socio-economics and health care reform.

We all seem so very different from one another.

And yet, we are connected, drawn into an amazing unity or red, white and blue. Not just today but every day. Celebrate!
