The approach of the 4th of July holiday weekend brings on a time of reflection. Reflection of the struggles we overcame to become the great nation we are today. Despite the economic hardships we face as a nation; despite the political, religious, and sociological differences we face as a people, we come together every year at this time to celebrate our independence.
The first Independence Day celebration was said to take place in Philadelphia in 1777. They held an official dinner, 13-gun salute, parades, picnics, fireworks, and decorated in red, white, and blue. Today we celebrate in much the same manner. Our cities and towns hold parades, our families get together for picnics and BBQ's, and then we all, in our own way, watch the fireworks. Whether it is out over the Statue of Liberty, over the Golden Gate Bridge, on the TV, or while sitting on the beach in paradise, we will watch the red, white, and blue bursts of light gleaming across the sky.
We will be watching from our own paradise listing (The Beleza on Venice Beach unit 704) as the fireworks burst over the Jetties. This year, as in all years past and all to come, those fireworks will bring on a renewed sense of how proud we are to live in this country, how proud we are of our service men and women who fight for our freedom, and how lucky we are to be living the American dream.
