I'm always mixed about July 4th because I never celebrate it for what it truly is.
Yes it's a day off for most, a day to spend with family and friends, a day to eat hearty and relax ... but it's really America's birthday. The country's independence. But I can't help but think that in 1776, I would've been a slave.
Not to put a damper on the holiday but I celebrate my freedoms in 2012 because when this country was "born", everyone wasn't celebrating freedom ...
Though I'm thankful for progression, I have to think of the REAL history ... of this country, on this day.
Happy Birthday America, After 200+ years you've grown so much, but still have much growing to do :)
