Today, America, the greatest country on Earth, celebrates its 250th birthday. We give thanks to those who have given their sweat, blood, tears, and their life, for the cause of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. As we look to the future, we remember, “These are the times that try men’s souls.” We wish a Happy Independence Day to our followers, and even our enemies, for the cause of America is the cause of all mankind. Our nation was not handed to us, but was won with the sacrifices of many who would never see it, and many who would never enjoy it, but for the love of their posterity and their countrymen, they endeavored.
