amercian president's radio address for XX independence day
the president good morning laura and i wish all americans a happy fourth of july weekend i look forward to celebrating independence day with the people of morgantown west virginia
on the fourth of july we remember the vision and conviction of america's founders we remember the ideals of liberty that led men from 13 colonies to gather in philadelphia and pen a declaration of selfevident truths and we remember the extraordinary personal courage that made their efforts a success doctor benjamin rush said that signing the declaration of independence was like signing your own death warrant he signed it anyway right above his fellow pennsylvania delegate benjamin franklin
on independence day we are also mindful that the promises of the declaration have been secured by the service and sacrifice of every generation america's first defenders were mostly farmers artisans and shopkeepers who waged a desperate fight for independence our union was preserved through the costly battles of the civil war including one at vicksburg that ended on independence day 1863 and we live in freedom because americans prevailed in the hardfought struggles of the 20th century from the marne and normandy to iwo jima and inchon bay america is home to 25 million military veterans and we will always be grateful for their unselfish courage
today a new generation of americans is defending our freedom against determined enemies at posts in afghanistan iraq and around the world our men and women in uniform are taking the fight to the terrorists overseas so that we do not have to face the terrorists here at home and by freeing millions from oppression our armed forces are redeeming a universal principle of the declaration that all are created equal and all are meant to be free those who serve today are taking their rightful place among the greatest generations that have worn our nation's uniform
the burden of war falls especially hard on military families and i thank them for the support they give our troops in their vital work some of america's finest men and women have given their lives in the war on terror and we remember them on independence day we pray for the families who have lost a loved one in freedom's cause and we know that the best way to honor the lives that have been given in this struggle is to complete the mission so we will stay in the fight until the fight is won
in this time of testing all our troops and their families can know that the american people are behind them on this fourth of july weekend i ask every american to find a way to thank men and women defending our freedom by flying the flag sending letters to our troops in the field and helping the military family down the street the department of defense has set up a website americasupportsyoumil you can go there to learn about private efforts in your own community at this time when we celebrate our freedom we will stand with the men and women who defend us all
in the summer of 1776 john adams called the american revolution the most complete unexpected and remarkable of any in the history of nations and 229 years later history has proved him right the fourth of july is a day to be proud of our heritage as freedom's home and defender it is a day to be confident in the future because the spirit of our founders still shapes the conscience of our country above all it is a day to give thanks to god for his many blessings on america and for the privilege to call ourselves citizens of this special land
i hope all americans enjoy a memorable and safe independence day celebration thank you for listening
