Thursday, June 30, 1983-KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Page 13A By Bill Carpenter Within a few days we will once again celebrate the “Fourth of July”, the 206th birthday of our na- ition. For most of us, this holiday means a day free from work, a day we can spend enjoying the out- doors, summer fun or with the family. It is a special day different from all the other holidays that we celebrate as Americans, for this date is not only the nation’s birthday but the day that we Americans obtained our freedom as free men and women, a day that will live forever in the history of these United States. As we all are aware, we Americans have had to struggle these past 206 years to uphold the meaning of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, three things that mean so much to each and every one of us. Certainly freedom has not come easy to this na- tion and for that matter, it will never come easy to a nation. We, all can give thanks that this coming Fourth of July will find this nation and the world at peace, however, this special day should be a time that we should pause and remember all the gallant and brave men and women who gave their lives in order that we might live as free men and women and can | The Fourth Of July And Our Pricel celebrate this day of our nation’s birth. As July 4th approaches, there are more Americans buying flags and there is more pride among the citizens of this nation than in the past years and this is as it should be. It makes one feel proud to be an American when he or she sees the flag flying on the main streets of our city and the other cities across our state and nation. I am proud that I am an American and especially proud that I was born here in the South. I am proud of my southern heritage and of the great men and women of the South who gave their best in the bat- ° tles of Cowpens and Kings Mountain for freedom many years ago. The War between the States when the men from all over the South filled the ranks to fight for their beloved Southland, World War 1, World War 2 and the other wars that this country has had to fight for freedom and their rights. Now there are many who will say that we do not have the leadership in both state and federal govern- ment today that we had in the past, and perhaps this is true, however this nation even with it’s many faults is still the best nation in the world and I am very proud to call this nation my home. I remember very well that in my last year’s article concerning this holiday that I mention the late Summertime...And Living’s Easy With Tasty, Easy-To-Serve Recipes ess Heritage Summertime...and the living’s easy...especially if you serve your family and friends easy-to- prepare recipes which are good and yet require a minimum of time in the kitchen.
