These days, the Fourth has become the day to take in a parade during the day, watch local fireworks at night, possibly watch one of the good musicals on Public TV or one of the networks, BBQ a good steak or hamburger, possibly do a little yard work, or maybe just kick back and relax, with absolutely nothing on the agenda.
But while we do one or more of the above, we should remember that we have the FREEDOM to pick and choose which activities we will do and where we will do them. If we want to stage a protest against our leaders or a newly enacted tax or the government in general we can do that.
Not so in many places in the world.
Many of our friends and neighbors wherever we live, including several Rockport 35RV Park residents, served their country to make sure you and I can still enjoy those freedoms.
To-Do list for July Fourth:
- Thank a veteran.
- Explain to a youngster exactly why today is so special to Americans.
- Be thankful that we live in such a wonderful country.
- Enjoy!
PS: And if you live in Iowa, be sure to measure the corn! (Here, tradition has it that corn should be knee high by July 4.)
