Blessed Independence Day United States of America - 2014
I was born on July 4, 1776, and the declaration of independence is my birth certificate. The bloodlines of the world run in my veins, because I offered freedom to the oppressed. I am the United States of America.
I am 300 plus million living souls and the ghosts of millions who have lived and fought and died for me.
I am Nathan Hale and Paul Revere, I stood at Lexington and fired the shot heard round the world. I am John Paul Jones, the Green Mountain Boys and Davy Crockett. I am Lee, Grant and Abe Lincoln. I remember the Alamo, the Maine and Pearl Harbor. When freedom called, I answered and stayed until it was over. I left my heroic dead on the bleak shores of Korea and Viet Nam, in Flanders Field, the Rock of Corregidor and the desert sands of Kuwait.
I am the Brooklyn Bridge. The wheat fields of Kansas the granite hills of Vermont. I am the coal mines of the Virginians and Pennsylvania, the fertile lands of the west, the Golden Gate and the Grand Canyon. I am Independence Hall, the Monitor, the Merrimac and the Challenger.
Oh, yes - I am big. I sprawl from the Atlantic to the Pacific, three million square miles of land, throbbing with industry. I am more than two million farms, I am forest, field, mountain and desert. I am quiet villages and cities that never sleep. You can look at me and see Ben Franklin walking down the streets of Philadelphia with his loaf of bread under his arm. You can see Betsy Ross with her needle, You can see the lights of Christmas and hear the strains of "Auld Lang Syne" as the calendar turns.
I am Babe Ruth and the World Series, 170,000 schools and colleges and more than 300,000 churches, where my people worship God as they choose. I am a ballot dropped into a box, the roar of a crowd in a stadium, the voice of a choir in a cathedral. I am an editorial in a newspaper and a letter to congress.
I am John Glenn and Neil Armstrong and the fellow astronauts who whirl through space above my head. I am Eli Whitney and Stephen Foster, Tom Edison, Albert Einstein, Billy Graham and Martin Luther King, Jr. Yes, I am the nation and these are the things that I am. I was conceived in freedom and, god willing, in freedom I shall spend the rest of my days. May I always possess the integrity, the courage and the strength to keep myself unshackled, to remain a citadel of freedom, and a beacon of hope for all the world?

America?
More and more people use the name "America" referring to the nation of the United States of America. I may be in error, but I believe we need to be more specific.
Canada is America. Mexico is America, Brazil is America. Do you get what I am saying? I am proud of my Country - the United States of America. I will clarify though, I am not proud of what she has approved of recently. Beginning with sexual immorality, to abortion, to all forms of godless, perverse behaviors; of that I am ashamed. However, there is no better place, right now, to live other than the good old U. S. of A.
Since the Supreme Court's decision today in favor of Religious freedom I am particularly happy, and proud to be a citizen of this Country.
When our manufacturers make their merchandise and they put on it "Made in America" that makes me wonder, "What part?" Folks, we live on the continent of America. There is South America, Central America, and North America. When things are produced in our Country let's make it plain where it is made. Let us say or put in print, or stamp on the product - "Made in the United States of America" or at least "Made in the U. S. of A."
Yes! I am proud to be an American, and to be a citizen; I am, however, blessed to be a citizen of a Better Land, a far Better Land; and that is Glory Land where Jesus my Lord and Saviour lives. I look forward to that day when He will reign Supreme as King of Jerusalem and the world in which we live.
May God Bless the U. S. A. again.
