Happy 4th of July United States.

 

Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸 — often described as Our Country’s Birthday!  I wanted to share some thoughts that have been popping into my head as I try or not try to keep up with current newsfeeds.  Please consider them in light of history, the freedom for which we fought and our future!

July 4th is the day dedicated to celebrating the great country we live in. A country that we served in a unique way. A country that continues to grow and adapt to the changing circumstances of the society and environment we live in.

This country was founded on compromise by the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in 1787. Not everyone’s ideas were included the final document but those ideas that were most widely supported became the Constitution.  The framework they developed established the great country that we live in.

We need to continue our commitment to this great country by helping it change for the better. For only through change can it continue to be the great example of self-government that it is.  Share your thoughts and ideas with others in a positive manner. Listen to the thoughts and ideas of others. They will not be the same but recognize that you are not always right and that others have good ideas and reasons for supporting them. And like our founding fathers listen with the intent to compromise for the betterment of our country.

Have a safe and enjoyable day celebrating our country.

Bob Weithofer

MVC President
