On Memorial Day, we remember those who
fought and died. On Veterans Day, we honor those who fought and
survived. But Independence Day is a day that belongs to all
Americans.
Some of our ancestors came here from
Europe fleeing religious persecution. Some of them were sent here as
punishment because England didn′t want them anymore. Some of them
were kidnapped in Africa and brought here against their will. Some of
them walked all the way here from Siberia. America has always been a
place people went when they couldn′t go anywhere else.
Some of them fought for Independence.
Some of them fought against Independence but were allowed to remain
here anyway. From Concord and Lexington, to Gettysburg, to Little Big
Horn, many people fought for whatever their own idea of freedom is.
Wherever your ancestors are from,
whatever they stood for, America is still very glad to have you all.
