As we celebrate another Fourth of July, our independence day, I think we have to be thankful for the people who wrote our constitution 13 years after the Declaration of Independence was signed. The two documents together exemplify the political freedoms  that we all enjoy and the opportunity to participate in government, the opportunity to choose our leaders, an opportunity to have free speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly and freedom of assembly. We go through an independence day sometimes as a reunion of family or maybe going to a parade to be enjoying the fun of the day without always being thankful for the political freedoms we have. We are a very unique nation that has set an example for a lot of other people. We are the longest living republic of any that have ever existed throughout mankind. We set a shining light for the rest of the world and we need to be appreciative of that. We need to be a missionary for the freedom we enjoy so we can appreciate it more but also to be a light to rest of the world.
