Why is America great? We’re certainly not perfect, and we obviously don’t have all the answers (just listen in on a congressional session some time) and we still have some issues that we all wonder if they’ll ever get resolved. BUT…we still have our freedom!
We’re still free to voice our opinion, to worship as we choose….or we can choose not to. We can vote, drive, go to school, buy a home, own property, start a business….and the list goes on.
Our country has some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world, everything from white sand beaches, to dense forests....to a high, snowy mountain top! And don’t forget the golden waves of grain! I think I feel a song coming on!
America….we have baseball, apple pie, picnics, barbeques and the ice cream man. John Wayne, parades, dog parks, Michael Jackson (had to throw him in there), carnivals and cotton candy. We also have county fairs, state fairs, blue ribbons, stuff-on-a-stick and butter cows!
We have it all. 
Most of all we have each other. America, where we’ve pulled together time and time again. Always there to help and support each other when disaster strikes. No nation on the face of this earth bands together the way we Americans do. We may squabble amongst ourselves, but when times are tough, we’re always there holding each other up. That’s why we are the UNITED States of America.
This weekend I will eat BBQ, watch fireworks and go to a parade where I KNOW, (with my hand over my heart) I’ll shed a tear when the colour guard carrying MY flag walks by. I’ll celebrate our great country along with everyone else. But I wonder how many people take it for granted? This weekend let’s tell each other and especially our children, the stories of what makes this the best nation in the world!
America….I love you! 
I will stand up for you, I will fight for you and I will continue to honour my pledge to you. Happy Birthday to my wonderful and beautiful United States of America!! Exceptional Specialty Products wishes you a happy and meaningful Independence Day!
(click and enjoy!) God bless America!!
