Happy Fourth of July from your columnist and Florida’s governor too
I was about to post a Happy Fourth to all my About-Jacksonville, FL readers when an email came in from Governor Charlie Crist. I’m getting ready to enjoy a cookout, maybe a swim (weather permitting), and fireworks. But first I wanted to share the governor’s message with you–his email included the photo above:
America is blessed with incredible diversity, boundless beauty and endless opportunity unlike any other nation in the history of the world. On the Fourth of July, I reflect on the courage of our forefathers, going into war as the underdogs. They had a vision of what the United States could be and that dream carried them through to victory.
It’s the dream my grandfather carried with him when he came to this country nearly 100 years ago, and it’s that same dream of freedom and a better way of life that the brave men and women of our Armed Forces faithfully and skillfully defend.
I can’t say it better than Florida’s popular governor.
So have a great Fourth, stay safe, and enjoy this holiday that nicely gives us a mid-week break.
