4th of July Hometown Parade led by the Dog

 
            All across our wonderful nation on the 4th of July people come together to celebrate.  What makes this day different than other Holidays throughout the year?  Why do so many people donate their time and talent to something that not many see?

 If you are in a large city there is money for a large celebration with fireworks, a parade and carnival.  These small towns have to raise the money themselves for their celebrations; the local church usually has people bring food for the dinners.

I think what makes this country so special are the people that love the United States of America.  They bring their families to either watch or participate in the parade, then go to the park for lunch, games or just to visit.  They don’t need to spend a lot of money or have a lot of fancy floats, but they have pride in their community and want to celebrate with their friends and neighbors.

Don’t get me wrong, I have been at many large parades and enjoyed them a great deal.  They are also put together by people who love this country.

What sets us apart from many other nations is we have the freedom to gather, the freedom to speak as we wish as long as we don't infringe on others, the freedom to go out and start a business and work as hard as we want and hopefully be successful, and if we fail - we can pick our self up and try again.

I love the United States of America – God Bless America and the wonderful people in it.
