Remember the true meaning of July 4th

By Frederick R. Bedell Jr.

The 4th of July is today, and is also known as Independence Day. It is a time to remember that day 240 years ago where we said no more injustice. It is a time where Democracy took root. Since then we have been in many battles and wars where we fought for freedom and many lives were sacrificed to preserve what we all hold most dear. So on the 4th of July, please fly the American flag from home and office in honor for all those men and women who fought for truth, justice and the American way.

Now with this war on terror, this is more important than ever before. Remember also the words of the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self evident , that all men are created equal, they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among them are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” Now for all that may, God bless America on Independence Day the 4th of July.
