Cheers For the Red, White and Blue

From Lynn Livanos Athan, About.com Guide   July 4, 2011

4th of July

Independence Day is a time for picnics and parades for sure, but it is also a reminder of the reason many of our parents and grandparents emigrated to this country.

They left their beloved homeland in search of opportunity and embraced it with everything they had.

Our blessings are a result of their struggles and sheer determination to make their own American dream a reality.

I for one am eternally grateful for their sacrifice, and very proud of the country that opened her doors to welcome them to their new home.

Get out there and celebrate and light a sparkler for me too!
