DAYS TIL MUSIC CAMP: 5
It's Independence Day! It's times like these that remind me of how lucky we are. There are some bad things about our country, I will willingly admit. But we are given freedoms that so many people don't have. We can go, do, think, and say just about anything we please. We have no slavery. We are allowed to vote for political figures. Everyone is given equal rights in the eyes of the law.
What about places where women are not allowed to speak their mind or even show their hair in public? The places where people can be killed for saying something controversial about a public figure? The places where slavery still exists?
I'm so thankful that we have and have had soldiers who were willing to die to give us the rights that so many of ust take for granted. Even those of you who don't support the war, PLEASE support the soldiers. They are giving so much for you, for me, and for your right to say that you don't support the war.
Happy Birthday, America.
