Our great Country has reached another year of age. Only 232! Not so many, verses most of the countries of Europe and Asia. I hope all will pause for just a moment to appreciate what is good about America and how much we owe those who have gone before and gifted us with the great privilege of living in the most wonderful and magnificent Country in the history of our planet.

Though we are far from perfect, Winston Churchill said it best when addressing a republican form of government and said, "It's the worse form of government ever invented,………except all the others."

I request all Americans do one small action on this birthday. Pick up a mirror and look into it. There you will see the solution to our many tribulations…………..and you will also see the problem.
