Happy Birthday USA
Happy Birthday U.S.A.

What a great start to the day, here on our nation's birthday.
First of all, the sun is out. Here in Michigan that's a big deal, especially the way June ended, where for a few days it felt like summer was over and fall had arrived. I think summer is back, which is a very good thing.
On a day that we celebrate our nation's 233rd birthday it's nice to see people flying the American flag out on a day like today. When I grew up, it was rare to not see a flag out in front of the homes. It's something that many people might not think as being a big deal today, but I'm glad to see many people still getting 'ol glory out in front of their homes. It would be nice to see this happen a little more often, not just on holidays.
I'm also reminded about our nation's birthday, the 4th of July, the history of our country and the prominent role that our military played in all of it. I'm watching the ATT Golf Tournament sponsored by Tiger Woods held at the Congressional course in Washington D.C. The military is honored throughout this tournament. The stories from them, the interaction with them and the PGA professionals along with having this tournament in their honor, just goes to show how we should not forget them and what they have done for our country.
We need to remember their service from what's going on now in the world all the way back to when our country started. Our country has a lot of history that we cannot forget. All the work our forefathers did; the risks they took putting everything on the line to help make our country the longest form of government that the world has ever seen. It's not perfect and there are things that are wrong with it -Â but it's still the best in the world.
What can we do to keep this greatness going? What are your thoughts on this? Is our country ok going in the direction we are going? Do we need to remember lessons from the past? I know politics gets into this topic a lot.
What do you think? I'd be interested on your thoughts. Â
