Happy Fourth of July everyone! Isn’t it just a wonderful day! I just love our country so much. You might say that it is because I was raised by very patriotic parents (hello, my name is Kennedy, my brother’s is Harrison, and we have a dog named Justice), but I think more than that, I see the blessings that come from our ancestors and living in this land. Now before everyone starts freaking out about our national debt, or gun control, or even President Obama, yes I acknowledge that our country can sometimes have some problems. But doesn’t everywhere have issues to work out? This day is meant to look back on where we have come from, to recognize the lives that have brought us here, to love our independence that we are so blessed to have. We live in a country that is competitive, always moving, and one that is free. I believe freedom of religion is one of the ones I appreciate the most.
I am so thankful for our troops, past and present. Jay and Heather Hertzler, you guys are so amazing to me and I love you guys so much. One of my best friends, may be the perfect example of strength. Mason is right now training to become a part of the Marine Special Forces. He has gone through years of JROTC in high school and has gone though rough training for days and in some cases, weekends. Mason is amazing. He always seems to make everyone smile or laugh. He is my age and going off to serve our country... that is just so mind blowing to me! I know I personally would not be strong enough to do that. I love that there are guys like Mason, young men and women who want to protect our country. I am so very thankful for that. I want to write more, but I'm about to go see some fireworks. Have a safe and wonderful Fourth!
