Fourth Of July Gift
well... it seems that dear X is back. so with soundgarden's tune entitled 4th of July now playing in my radio blog, i'll give it another whirl with a short letter. this month's topic is gifts.
Dear X,
here we are on another independence day with yet another opportunity to ponder the founding of this country and the principles upon which our very nation was founded. just thinking about it, a tremendous gift was given to each and every one of us on that day. on that day we the people codified the principles of this country we love.
we've been given the gifts of unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. we have fought, died, and lived in securing those rights -- our freedom. as i sit here with so many things to remember, this fact i must try and remember most. i'm alive and i am free.
