July 4 always fills me with pride for our country. It's been a tough year, but we've weathered tough years before.
For fun, I thought it'd be nice to share some patriotic movies and quotes.
Mr. Smith
Goes to Washington: “Liberty's
too precious a thing to be buried in books. Men should hold it up in front
of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to
speak. My ancestors couldn't, I can, and my children will."
“When you pull on that
jersey, you represent yourself and your teammates; and the name on
the front, is a hell of a lot more important, than the one on the back.” Kurt
Russell in Miracle.
Even The Muppet Movie chimes
in with, “Patriotism swells in the heart of the American bear.”
How about "Top Gun" with Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer? Did you cry? Did you cheer? It definitely deserves to be mentioned.
What about "Good Morning Vietnam" with Robin Williams?
Denzel Washington won
an Academy Award for his performance in “Glory.” It also starred Morgan
Freeman, Matthew Broderick and is about the United State’s first all African
American regiment, the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry.
If you need a break from the heat this week, why not take time to watch a patriotic movie?
Wherever you are, I hope you have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
