Happy 4th of July

Thank You

As we celebrate the 4th of July this weekend, Magnelibra Econemotions wants to thank all of our readers and give them this excellent speech from President Ronald Reagan. We think its very appropriate for the occasion this weekend and as we find ourselves continually polarized by the events that have taken place over the last few months, we hope that Reagan’s words resonate with you and provide what we feel a sense of pride for being an American:

There was a time when our history (heritage) was taught with PRIDE and RESPECT. There was a time when respect was given to those who serve(d), bled, and died to protect and defend our FREEDOM. There was a time when we were GRATEFUL. There was a time when our ACCOMPLISHMENTS meant something. There was a time when these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, was UNITED. There was a time when these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, was UNITED UNDER THE AMERICAN FLAG. A FLAG THAT WAS CARRIED IN BATTLE BY BRAVE PATRIOTS AS A SYMBOL OF FREEDOM & JUSTICE FOR ALL NO MATTER RACE, RELIGION, OR BACKGROUND. A BEACON OF HOPE WHEN FLOWN. A MARK OF RESPECT TO THEIR MEMORY TO THOSE WHO WILLFULLY SACRIFICED THEIR LIVES TO DEFEND. There was a time when, WE, THE PEOPLE, decided our future. There was a time when, WE, THE PEOPLE, had a voice. There was a time when, WE, THE PEOPLE, were UNITED and STRONG. There was a time when the media was free from political bias [and corruption]. There was a time when our elected leaders stood their ground, dug in, and defended those they represented. How many Men and Women in uniform are currently serving on the front lines abroad only to look back in horror to see the homeland on fire? What does the word ‘Patriot’ mean to you? LAND OF THE FREE. HOME OF THE BRAVE. Now is not the time to be complacent. Will you answer the call?

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” – Reagan

We thank all those that have fought for our freedom, we remember those that have sacrificed their lives so that others may live with peace and prosperity and we will always honor the men and woman that continue to fight daily so that we may continue to forge an even better future for America.

Thank you and God Bless America.
