Fourth of July

The Fourth of July is a time to have fun, grill burgers, eat watermelon, and watch fireworks with family at dark.  It is also a day when we should should reflect on the sacrifice and hard work that made our country what it is today.  Freedom for all has never been guaranteed and has been threatened by foreign powers and our countrymen alike.  The United States has endured several scars such as the War Between the States and the Civil Rights Movement, but each trial has pushed us to do better for the next generation.  Be thankful for the freedom given to us.  Happy Independence Day from the Museum of Scott County.
