Who doesn’t like the Fourth of July fireworks? Ok, so our pets - not so much.
What does the Fourth of July truly stand for? It was a time in our nation when
our forefathers had enough of paying higher taxes to another country and no
formal, accepted true voice in the government of “the colonies”. Our forefathers
grew tired of this and asked Thomas Jefferson to draft a declaration, declaring
our nation no longer a colony, but a free and independent nation.
On July 4, 1776, this “Declaration of Independence” was signed and is celebrated
as the birth of the United States. 249 years later the celebrations continue!
Even though we celebrate this holiday with picnics and barbecues, fireworks,
and merriment, we should not lose sight of the sacrifices endured to make
this a free and independent nation. We need to celebrate and remember the
sacrifices endured to this day protecting this fine nation we live in.
As Elks we should always remember the sacrifices of our police, firefighters,
EMT’s, and military serving this country keeping us safe while they are separated
from their family. They don’t all get to attend barbecues and picnics, or
even celebrate the holiday - they must remain diligent and ready, keeping us
safe and free.
So, enjoy what freedoms you have, give thanks to our forefathers, our public
servants and our military.
Have a happy 4th of July with family and friends and God bless you all and
God Bless the USA!
Fraternally,
Ken Roger, Esteemed Loyal Knight
