Happy birthday, America! I would like to think I had something profound to say today but I don't. I look back to the beginning of the this country and marvel at the intelligence and wisdom our founding fathers possessed. The great forethought they had when they wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Where would we be do today without them? Where would we be today without the brave men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for love of country? Where would we be today if no one believed in what is good about the USA?
I believe in America. I believe in the people that make up this great nation. I believe each of us can make a difference in our world. And, I believe that most of my beliefs started outside.
Outside where we become one with nature. Outside where we cross paths with God's creatures. Outside where it is up to me to decide what I do and how I do it. Outside where no one else is watching.
I am a proud American. I am a proud hunter. I know that when I go into the beautiful outdoors, I feel a tiny bit of kinsmanship with my forefathers.
So I encourage you to stand up for what you believe. Respect others. Respect nature.
