Today though, I hand my hand firmly on the handle of the door marked independence, through which we as a nation will stride boldly, to a better future. Sure it won't be a land of milk and honey, but it'll a land where we can feed the hungry, house the homeless, care for the old and the sick. A better relationship with one and other as one, no matter of origin or belief.<br />JimnArleneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2092475090824666694.post-19496279884411447762014-09-18T15:43:56.097+01:002014-09-18T15:43:56.097+01:00Bravo!
