Beautifully said! I was born and raised in 3rd world countries, and have always had a very different view of America than most of the people I know. I’m often shocked when I find out someone “doesn’t vote”, when I saw countries whose citizens were denied this right and whose citizens fought to have that right. So many here take this life for granted and do not understand the riches and freedoms that surround us. So it’s particularly egregious to me when I see our rights being taken while our citizens do nothing, because it “doesn’t affect” them…well, it will! I’ve seen it. I’ve seen what a population living under tyrannical governments can do. So to all my fellow Americans who read this, Happy July 4th and may we endeavor to keep what was so hard won by our forefathers!
Agree, beautifully said. Always enjoy being reminded of the things we who were born here tend to forget or take for granted. Thank you Zahra.

Thank you Judy! God Bless America!
Indeed, God Bless America and may He protect those who fight for her freedom!
