It's my favorite holiday. One spent reflecting on the history of the day more so than any other. Very sad in a way when I think, "Is this what they had in mind for our country?" However, very proud of everyone who fought, died, and suffered to make what we have a reality. The actual history behind it is astounding. I am completely awestruck by the courage of our founding fathers and the foresight they showed. July 4 is one of the days that I am most proud of my country and the ultimate sacrifice of so many for the freedom we take for granted daily.
