For Americans, today we celebrate Independence Day, I'd like to encourage each citizen of this spectacular country to focus on the purpose of the Fourth of July. We celebrate freedom. What could make us prouder or more grateful?

I hope you will all have fun enjoying family and friends, and take at least a few moments to relish the great fortune it is to be AMERICAN. Wave your flags and light up the sky with joy. I do also hope you will not use this as an opportunity to gorge on fat and grease, freedom for the United States is not a great excuse to destroy yourself. Please respect alcohol as well, and make one hundred percent sure that neither you nor anyone you know gets behind the wheel of a car. Be proud, be patriotic, be responsible. Happy Independence Day America!
