My Favorite Word

This may seem like a strange title for a July 4th post, but I really want to share my favorite word with everyone because it is very relevant to this holiday. Remember. There it is. A word that we use quite often. I doubt that most people go a whole day without hearing or using it. Remember. So much is wrapped up in the word. Remember. What comes to mind when you read it.
On this July the 4th, I want every person to remember. Remember where you came from. Remember the family who came before you to make you who you are. Remember the beliefs you hold, whatever they may be. Remember remember the goals you've set and the dreams you had. July the 4th should be a very personal holiday. It should remind each of us of the awesome blessings that each and every one of us have. I don't care how horrible you think your life is, each person can find true miracles and blessings in their lives every day.
For citizens of the United States of America, our duty is to remember those who came before us. And not even those who were specifically American. Martin Luther. Christopher Columbus. Jesus Christ. Patrick Henry. George Washington. Thomas Jefferson. And don't forget their wives or mothers. These people fought and lived passionately so that we can live the lives we do. Especially the Founding Fathers who penned the Constitution deserve our respect and remembrance on this day. Remember those who have lost their lives in pursuit of destiny and greatness. Every soldier. Every mother. Every normal citizen who votes. Remember their lives and their sacrifice.
Remember and God Bless America!
