Friend --

As we celebrate this 4th of July, let’s take a moment to reflect—not just on our independence, but on everything we’ve overcome as a nation to preserve it.

For nearly 250 years, Americans have fought for freedom, expanded justice, and strengthened our democracy in the face of enormous challenges.

Yes, we’re facing hard truths out of Washington. Yes, our Founders are probably rolling over in their graves.

But the good news? We’ve seen what happens when people of goodwill come together with courage and conviction. There is nothing we can’t overcome when we stand united for what’s right and fight back against what’s wrong.

America has always been at its best when we confront our imperfections, speak truth to power, and work with courage and conviction to build a better future for the next generation. To be a beacon of light in times of darkness—that’s not just our history, it’s our calling. And it’s what we must continue to strive for.

So today, let’s celebrate the victories of the past, honor the sacrifices that made them possible, and recommit to meeting the moment ahead. On this 4^th of July, we’d like to share the following Country First Video of what America is.
