Happy 4th of July
America is both an idea and a place; an idea of liberty and a place of boundless opportunity. America has a language. America has a culture. America has a soul. America has presence. America has borders. America has hope. America has truth. America has laws. America has consequences. On this 246th anniversary, I think JFK put it best when he said: "Ask not what your country can do for you, but rather what you can do for it." I encourage all Americans to embrace this philosophy of service before self.
