Yes, for 219 years, the countrv i indeed, celebrated its birth date. The United States is our country; more so because each of us has a say in how it is goverened. No other country has a system in which , the people have such a strong voice ’ in the day-to-day operation of their ( government. Loyalty is all the United States , asks in return for the freedoms and protection it offers. Not blind loyalty, but informed loyalty. Love of country is neither shameful for sinful. It is one of the most respected sentiments of nature, and something of which each individual may be proud. Americans have must to be proud of, much that provides strong grounds for loyalty. Anyone who finds nothing in this nation to be proud of; nothing on which to base his loyalty, has his eyes, ears and heart closed to the real world. Love of country should come easily for the citizens of a nation that

stands as a haven of blessed liberty in a world filled with oppression and despair. America is such a country. America also provides leadership and hope for all the peoples of the world. A Roman statesman and philosopher, Seneca, made this statement many, many years ago. “No one loves his country for its size or eminences, but because it is his own.” Stop and think of these points as we approach the birthday of our Country.
