We have a new U.S. flag that will have to wait yet another Independence Day for a time of true celebration.
However, for all the previous Independence Days and the reason for them, I will still celebrate and be grateful to all, military and civilian, who made the United States of America possible. Mostly, I am grateful to God who blessed us for a little while with a great nation. May this nation repent and beg for His blessing again, because only His grace and mercy can restore us.
Amen.
