On July 4th 1776, a small group of brave men led like minded patriots to stand against the tyranny of oppression and secure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for what would become the greatest country the world has known. Since then, countless American heroes have made the ultimate sacrifice to safeguard and expand the reach of freedom. As President Ronald Reagan so eloquently put it, America is truly the “shining city upon a hill whose beacon light guides freedom-loving people everywhere.” The strength of a Nation lies in the courage and character of its citizens. Throughout history we have shown this to be true and united as one to overcome the challenges before us. It has been a great honor to serve the people of Indiana’s 8th District in Congress and no matter the challenges we face, I always believe that America’s best days are ahead. As you celebrate with friends and family, please take a moment to reflect on the sacrifice made by so many and say a prayer for the men and women bravely serving today.
