“United we stand” seems an odd notion in our time of division.
We speak now more of what divides us than what unites us.?
Division is what brought us to now.
We separated from an Empire to become a Republic.
We separated races so one could serve another.
We separated into North and South for Civil War.
Division has led to distrust, disharmony, and dispute
Always simmering, on the surface and below.
Division may be our heritage, but it is not our destiny.
We are a nation built upon an ideal.
That freedom is not an aspiration but a foundation.
We fought to preserve that foundation against threats, foreign and domestic.
Freedom earned is freedom preserved.
It, however, cannot flourish we deny the responsibilities freedom demands.
Respect. Justice. Liberty.
No country offers the bounty we have.
In terms of resources and opportunities.
Our motto is?E pluribus unum. “Out of many, one.”
Our strength lies not solely with our might.
It is rooted in our dreams, our duties, and our determination.
United we stand.
Happy Birthday, America!?

3 年If I may… “With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”
