Happy Birthday, United States of America

For 242 years, citizens of the United States have enjoyed the freedoms of this great country. The US has gone through good times and bad, prosperity and despair, peace and wars, right and wrong, and times of solidarity vs. separation. Somehow, the people have seen and solved the problems and the country, as a whole, moves forward.

I am proud to be an American. Our country may stumble, but it always gets up, sorts out the problem,rights itself and moves forward.

We are a strong people that cherish our freedom and will fight to maintain it. We are independent, but benevolent to others. We, the people, are the United States of America. Happy Birthday to us.
 
President Donald Trump is bringing tanks, bombers and even Air Force One to his Fourth of July celebration that is traditionally is light on military might, a celebration of the United States and Independence Day in Washington, D.C. hosted by the White House.

The president shared a statement that read:

“This year’s annual Independence Day celebration on the National Mall, will feature music, flyovers, fireworks, and an address by President Donald J. Trump. Salute to America will honor each of the nation’s five service branches with music, military demonstrations, multiple flyovers including a flight demonstration by the Blue Angels, and much more.”

Fox News will live feed the celebration during “Special Report,” from 6 to 8 p.m. Trump tweeted on Tuesday that military leaders are “thrilled” to participate. “Military Leaders are thrilled to be doing this & showing to the American people, among other things, the strongest and most advanced Military anywhere in the World,” Trump tweeted. “Incredible Flyovers & biggest ever Fireworks!” “We’re gonna have a great Fourth of July in Washington, D.C.,” Trump told reporters,“it will be like no other and it will be special.”

Senior presidential adviser Kellyanne Conway said the speech will highlight “the success of this administration in opening up so many jobs for individuals, what we’ve done for veterans,” in addition to celebrating democracy, patriotism and the military. Trump was inspired to have a military parade of tanks and other equipment in Washington after he watched a military parade on Bastille Day in Paris in 2017.
 
Hopefully the USA will not return to becoming a "limp wristed" country.
An Iron fist can also be a gentle hand.

I'm not ashamed that this country became strong. I'm not ashamed in being a white male. My actions are ruled with a balance of heart and mind.
Long live the USA !
