Kudos to all that are serving or have served in the armed forces of the United States of America. Freedom in this country has never been free of cost. God bless those that have honorable served.

This country was founded upon genocide of many Indians.

Well if we are taking that route...

The good people of India did not seem to be bothered one bit about it.

Yes, yes, I know what you meant. But if you are going to be pedantic, you must be a thorough pedant.

Yes, this country is rich with History - both good and bad...
Yes, there are unfortunate truths in your sentiment... as there were certainly unfortunate 'costs' as was mentioned... many of which we ought not be proud of...
Lots of this countries history has lots of sad roots, truths and unfortunate circumstances at the cost for the once great country that had previously evolved...
This country has endured the era of slavery...
This country continues to be built upon the backs of immigrants who came to the USA for the opportunity to provide for their respective families in a way that they were not able to from their homes of origins...
As a person of Italian, Mexican and Indian decent I tend to appreciate each respective holiday with the spirit and intent of the respective holiday...
My mother's Mexican origins are from South Texas (remember the Alamo) - before Texas became part of the USA... My fraction of Indian decent similarly originated from that part of this country...
My Italian side of the family two Italian brothers married two Italian sisters and migrated to the USA in the early 1900s... for opportunity - to this day our Italian side of the family still celebrate Independence Day as a means for appreciating, thanking and recognizing our family heritage and the sacrifices that our grandparents made for all of us to be able to raise our families in a very fruitful lives vesting in freedom and opportunity...
Our family also has a rich history of members who have fought served and sacrificed in fighting for this countries freedoms...
To this day immigrants continue to flood into the USA to escape the daunting tyranny and hardships of their respective countries of origins...

We now celebrate Black History Month...
National Indigenous Day...
Cinco De Mayo... etc etc...
People even have the freedom to Peaceful Protest...

and today just happens to be Independence Day...
As a retired US Marine with lots of my brethren who have fought for everyone's freedom of speech - you are most welcome... May God Bless you and yours...

I can certainly appreciate and agree to that sentiment - especially as I have awakened over the past several years to the notion of the Deep State and their diabolic agenda...
That being said.... Please clarify, for my understanding, which part of my response do you 'disagree' with?...
I try my best to be an agreeable person and continue to strive to be a good Christian and more Christ-like... So if I wronged you or offended you in any way with my comments please do forgive me - that most certainly was not my intention... But I am always willing to learn how I might better articulate myself - as it is not my intent to be disagreeable - especially with my fellow Christians...

I believe all U.S. soldiers fought for the globalist agenda instead of freedom whether they knew it or not.

Oh... Okay... Ya... That rabbit hole runs deep...
Now I can certainly acknowledge where you are coming from...
I can certainly see the basis for that premise...
Unfortunately, that perspective, rationalization and logic would certainly lead to lots of people being wrongly accused and judged for things that were not within their control nor understanding...

I most certainly respect your opinion and can now appreciate where you are coming from - thank you for sharing...

Have you ever heard of the Fallacies of Logic? I only ask - as I only hope to be helpful with the growing trend that I am seeing..

Hmmm... I noticed upon checking out your profile that you both give and receive a lot of 'disagreeable' responses...

It was nice interacting with you and learning more about you... I do wish you the best - God Bless...
