We celebrate the 4th of July as the Nation's birthday although it took another five years of fighting before Yorktown where the war was won. During that period there were dark periods and the outcome was uncertain.
We merged 13 Colonies each with somewhat different origins. Despite their differences they became one country, although that was only truly finalized after the Civil War and we are still trying to provide all our citizens with equal opportunities.
In the history of the World we are still a fairly young country that remains a model for many others on how to achieve success or the American Dream.
Lets remain a beacon of liberty and freedom while moving into the future.
