Happy Fourth of July! Today, we celebrate the independence and freedom of our nation. Let's take this time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who came before us and appreciate the liberties we enjoy. As we gather with family and friends, let's honor the values that make America great. Wishing everyone a joyous and safe Independence Day! #humanresources #hrconsulting #smallbusiness #IndependenceDay #USA''

America's Constitutional Sacrament — A Time for Reflection Does America fully employ and develop available talent, including that of allies and partners? What obstacles or shackles might we remove? How can we make the American world greater than ever? Every leap year, America reflects and institutes a constitutional sacrament as The People renew their government’s lease of legitimacy or transfer power for the next chapter of the American Dream. (Written for my American friends, as a friend of the United States, and for all who toil in obscurity for freedom and justice!)

British historian, clergyman, and professor Charles Kingsley once said, "There are two freedoms – the false, where a man is free to do what he likes; the true, where he is free to do what he ought." This quote captures the distinction between the liberty to act on any impulse and the moral freedom that involves acting responsibly and ethically. Today, we celebrate the bold vision of our founders who dared to dream of a nation built on freedom and self-governance. As we honor their legacy, let's remember that true patriotism means holding our nation accountable to its highest ideals. We must challenge ourselves, and each other, to strive for a more perfect union—with liberty and justice for all. Our differences, when dealt with properly, are our strength, and our shared commitment to democracy is what makes America exceptional. This 4th of July, let's pledge to not just celebrate our freedoms, but to actively protect and expand them. We must ensure that the American dream remains alive for future generations. Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 #IndependenceDay #FreedomAndResponsibility #PatriotismInAction #AmericanDream #UnitedweStand #DividedWeFall #LibertyandJusticeforAll

I believe in the United States of America, as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies https://lnkd.in/gsFRwwNt

Independence Day is by far my favorite holiday. I love the summer, I love fireworks, and I love America. In case you need a reminder of what the holiday is all about and the true sacrifice made by our Founders to create the United States of America, take 10 minutes to watch this video on the Declaration of Independence from the legendary Paul Harvey. https://lnkd.in/gUaNcSRx

Happy July 2nd! This is actually the day on which the United States became independent. The Second Continental Congress passed a resolution establishing independence that was moved by Richard Henry Lee. It read in part: “Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved.” Another part of the resolution directed that a Declaration of Independence be issued. #july2 #1776 #independenceday #RichardHenryLee #DeclarationofIndependence #july4

As we celebrate Independence Day, we are reminded that, while still far from perfect, our country has always evolved to meet the needs of an ever-changing world. We have an opportunity to continue this evolution and work together to build a thriving, resilient, pro-equity democracy that effectively meets the needs of a politically, racially, and religiously diverse America.

Hi LinkedIn! I hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! If you're a history buff, you'll find this interesting... Harford County, where I'm from in Maryland penned our country's first Declaration of Independence known as the Bush Declaration. This was in March 1775, to document their support of Boston and opposition to British control. The Bush Declaration contributed to the format and premise of the well-known United States Declaration of Independence that we celebrate every July 4th. Freedom is never quite free, as noted by the ending statement of the declaration, "At the risque of our lives and fortunes." More can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eavnmegs
