THE PRESIDENT: Thank you all. (Applause.) Happy Fourth of July. (Applause.) Thanks for coming. I am honored to celebrate Independence Day in Morgantown, West Virginia. (Applause.) I appreciate you all being here. The history of this land dates back to the earliest days of our republic. Turns out George Washington used to drop by this part of the state. And I appreciate a warm welcome for another George W. (Applause.)
Coming to West Virginia is becoming a Fourth of July tradition for me. (Applause.) And every time I come here, I appreciate the beauty of West Virginia, and I appreciate being with decent, hardworking, patriotic Americans who call the Mountain State home. (Applause.)
Today we gather to celebrate the 229th anniversary of America's independence. Across our great land, families will gather to fly the flag, to watch the fireworks, and count our blessings as Americans. We are grateful for the bounty and opportunity of our land. We are grateful for our liberty. And we are grateful for the men and women in uniform who keep our country safe. (Applause.)
