Looking Back on Independence Day

A day of celebration. America a free, independent country. A day where fireworks, family, friends, and picnics are the norm. A day where we are all American and cheerful and positive. A little introspection can be good. We are allowed to celebrate because of our forefathers and the many soldiers who paved the way for our country to be great. I mean we should thank the Chinese for inventing fireworks because half the fun would be gone without those. Letting go of the past, looking forward with anticipation of how to be better, how to make this country better, this is what I am thinking today.
