Freedom Rings



Happy Birthday America! part5

 

Today, as we celebrate our freedom, which has not come easy the freedoms that I am reminded of the awe we felt the first time we took our family to Williamsburg , Va. the birthplace of the ideals we afford today. There, our country's forefathers wrote with discretion and descern ideals to create a place for people to express safely live, obse religion, express ourselves, choose any employment, receive education, and entrust safe welfare. Respectfully, reverently, and radiantly I wish you a Happy Independence Day!
