America’s Enduring Greatness: Reflecting on Independence Day

Reflecting on the exceptional existence of the United States of America this Independence Day is a moment to appreciate the unique qualities of this nation.

Arriving in the U.S. in 1975, the experience of learning American customs and history, such as the daily pledge of allegiance to the flag, highlighted the distinctiveness of the country compared to France and England.

The town of Princeton, with its historical significance in battles and brief stint as the U.S. capital, played a role in the nation’s birth.

Studying American history in school brought to light the remarkable progress made by the country in just a few lifetimes since independence in 1776.

The Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, stands out as a foundational and enduring guide crafted by exceptional men in shaping a nation governed by the rule of law.

The current challenges and debates, including recent Supreme Court decisions, underscore the importance of upholding the separation of powers and respecting the integrity of the judicial system.

While divisions exist on critical policies like immigration, understanding and abiding by the constitutional framework set by Congress for such decisions is vital.

America, often seen as a beacon on a hill, faces the responsibility of safeguarding its borders and civilization, drawing on historical lessons from fallen empires like Carthage and Rome.

On this July Fourth, the hope is placed in the resilience of the nation, the revival of traditions by the youth, and the promise of a brighter future ahead.
