Happy 4th of July!

For centuries, America has celebrated the 4th of July, a date that has become growingly signifigant in recent years. Our Country has survived many hardships. We overcame the greatest military power of the day, then we again crushed them in a close victory. We survived an internal war, and many other international wars after that. One thing that we must take notice to, is how that spirit, that same spirit that drove our founding fathers onward to freedom from oppression, or propelled our still young Union to victory over rebellion, or aided us in time of trouble concerning our relations with other countries, that spirit, to this day, continues to drive our soldiers and officials to promote freedom worldwide. May we have the same American spirit of our fathers, and more importantly the Holy Spirit from our Heavenly Father living inside of us always. May God sustain this nation, and in the words of our second president, John Adams, may He, "continue His blessing upon this nation and its Government and give it all possible success and duration consistent with the ends of His providence."
