Running everyday you see a lot out there. You get daily glimpses into people's lives as you go by. Some days you don't see much. Some days you see more than you wanted. But on this 4th of July I saw families laughing with each other, praying before their meal, raising a glass to love ones long gone, marveling at their children who never seem to slow down & couples embraced in love. None of these people were the same. But regardless of their sex, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, skin color or age they all proudly flew our flag. We're a country built on diversity & our ability to unite to overcome insurmountable obstacles. Squabbling factions never could've overthrown Royal rule, halted the march of Nazi evil or been the 1st to put a man on the moon. We could only do that as the "United" States of America.
You do see a lot out there...
